Why not, when you said she increased debt when in fact she did the exact opposite? Not only was she able to decrease the country's debt she also managed to reduce taxes that damaged the country's wealth creation capacity.
Like I said, it worked until 1983 - and the great miner's strike played a catalyst role in it. After that it went downhill, as became clear that only a handful of Brits enjoyed materially what Thatcher was doing. And in the end it was as bad, if not worse than it was before she came to power. This unprecedented wealth and the clearing of debts was only a temporary effect, felt by only a handful.
Unlike what you conservatives think, some left-wingers do know their stuff.
Unlike the Labour government which threw money at the poor and unemployed , and created a nation of spongers...
And what Thatcher did was exactly the same, with the difference that the group who had always been richer than those spongers, became richer and those spongers became even more poor and more in debt than they already were. Thatcher didn't care about the lower class. Don't pretend she did. That mortgage plan of hers was only to reach a hand to the property developers, the guys who owned. They earned loads by this policy and those poor fcukers who fell for it, had to pay the bill in the end. Not that much difference with the current crisis, I would say.
