What these institutions like the IMF don't understand is that countries aren't like households and we can just continue to borrow and increase our debt.... or something 😅

    I wonder what the benevolent IMF is proposing? Unlikely more severe cuts in public spending, dismantling and selling off the NHS, completely destroying any economic safety net for the poor, right? I'm sure they are asking to tax the rich. Because they care about preventing an adverse market reaction lol
