Will economic growth solve the UK’s problems? – Sceptics say growing the economy favours the rich while Liz Truss claims everyone benefits

  1. They are both right. Everyone would benefit from a growing economy, but the rich would benefit more than anyone else.

    The issue is EVERY government has tried to grow the economy, it’s not as if the last few decades the Governments have said “neah, don’t need to grow the economy this year, lets put that off”

    The idea that Truss has the answer where everyone else doesn’t is just laughable.

  2. What economic growth?

    This is like asking whether it’ll benefit tenants to build a park behind a block of flats when what the developer is actually doing is dousing the building in petrol and striking a match.

  3. Of course it would. The point is she is trying to force economic growth when we’re probably headed for a recession. Right now growth might be impossible and recession inevitable. And she’s just making things worse. Should have voted for Rishi.
