Iceland's decision two years ago to force bondholders to pay for the banking system's collapse appeared to pay off after official figures showed the country exited recession in the third quarter.The Icelandic economy, which contracted for seven consecutive quarters until the summer, grew by 1.2% in the three months to the end of September.
Last year Iceland's president Olafur R Grímsson said: "The difference is that in Iceland we allowed the banks to fail. These were private banks and we didn't pump money into them in order to keep them going; the state did not shoulder the responsibility of the failed private banks."

it is my point of view yes. and yes, i pay my workers well and they do their best work for me. they go above and beyond the call of duty without any form of prompting. i just say what i want done and it gets done better than i wouldve done it by myself using from their personal knowledge which some employers will never know.

Government spending doesn't really stimulate an economy. What it actually does is create an artificial boom. After the stimulus has worn off the economy reverts to a even worse state.
Deficits are not a good idea. Governments and people should live within their means.
Or better still live below their means.

Politicians know little about business and even less of economics as we tend to elect the least knowledgeable of our intelligent people to lead.
With that said, debating one model over the other is a 2 dimensional discussion that has 3 dimensional implications. Which model works better is determined by the needs of society at that time (growth, expansion, industry vs technology, population density...). if only switching could be as easy as choosing what you're going to eat today.
