The US is still entirely driven by its own consumers and the way its behavior reflects off the international economy, driving all that voodoo noise, but the UK?

I think they should kill zombie businesses quicker (yay, interest rates!) and try to pick up as many international worker positions from companies least likely to be zombies. Their downward slope locally is pretty inevitable but puts them in a good position like a weak currency for exports.

Giving up on a shoot the moon strategy that has gone this far usually means shooting yourself.
