Some critics, including Lord Keynes, saw the loan as a means used by America to subjugate Britain after the war.

He was correct. But the British, by paying off the debt, have cleverly thwarted our evil, complicated, and very long-term plot.

Writing off 90% of the debt and giving them a 2% interest rate was subjugation? Was Keynes right about anything?

Keynes is a proof of the fact that economics is the art of finding a best-fit straight line to a single data point.
