Iceland should have been a model for the US and other countries.
The government of Iceland understood that its main responsibility was its citizens, NOT the corrupt Anglo banking system.
The US government did not follow the same priorities. Instead it impoverished its citizens with more debt to bail out the banking system. Which it had done before. Anmd it did not change the laws effectively to prevent a recurrence in the future.
It is a pity that the US government does not understand its responsibility to its citizens. It is also a pity that the US citizens tolerate the fact that its politicians are owned in fee simp[le by banks, big business, the extremely wealthy, and foreign interests.
This is a major reason for the stagnation of the US economy since the financial collapse, and will eventually be one of the causes of the next financial collapse. -
That was one diligent president during the 2008 economic recession

The low crime rates in Iceland were once standard to all of Western
Europe before the Arab/African immigration started. Iceland has so far
been lucky to avoid the same extreme immigration laws which have been
put into place by corrupt governments. Though I'm certain it is only a matter of time before Iceland is doomed aswell. -
it is just becuase the panama papers

-

the same thing would have happened if they had allowed a "bail out." When you truly know how money and debt work (the simple switching of numbers) then you will understand how this works and why you should never, ever pay back a cash bank loan. The few that were jailed were jailed based on antiquated laws written when money was valued according to Gold. We stopped depleting the Earth of Gold reserves a long time ago. Those Iceland banks that "went under," just simply changed their name, put up a new sign and started again the next day. Their bail out would have been based out of the American FED. All currencies are eventually based on the American Dollar, no longer in gold or silver. It's too complicated to explain why, just suffice it to say it is as a result of many decades of unparalleled world financial domination and because the American Federal Reserve (FED) is the only financial institution that operates independently and is not beholden to any government or bank. They are governed by a very private, elite, self-appointed Board of Directors. Even most American politicians are clueless to how this works, not to mention how clueless Iceland politicians would be. How could they know? In the end it was an issue of semantics mainly, except that the citizens were easily relieved of their debt (though they never needed to pay it back anyway) and so that is definitely a good thing. Whether the keystrokes were made on Iceland's computers or on the World Bank/FED computers, the solution would have been the same.

Im from Iceland. The banks were owned by a greater company which then
where owned by a group of people. Most of those people are billionaires
and are free. Only a handful of men who were ceo's and managing banks
are in jail. A jail that is like a hotel in USA.
95% of the bad guys are still living hight! They own property in London and Manhattan. They own Millions of dollars. -
Last time I checked, there was a huge bailout for the banks and heavy restrictions on the Icelandic krone. I wouldn't say Iceland beat the banks. And the bailout to the people only applied to people who had big loans. Iceland still has very high taxes and not nearly as strong a wealthfare system as rest of the nordic nations, longer work hours, lesser pay, corrupt politicians and a ever present cold rain is what Iceland stands for.

end the fed through congress it has power to shut it down

ALL country`s can jail their bankers and get rid of there fiat currency systems, expscially if iceland can do it then its possible anywhere. Nobody is to big to fail that is just more government propagandy, the fact is the Us doolar is not even backed up by gold anymore so its value is a fairytale.... We need to revert back ALL the systems that the elites not matter what branch of government they hide behind because they have all been for one thing, the consolidation of power.
Elites excuse has always been that there is there is fear thus we need external control, but the same groups have been exposed for decades now. Start living in communes and share with your fellow neighbor, let the police handle criminals we don`t need politicians to do that, RIGHT?
Non violent solutions and jail all bankers (for life).
Because the real deal behind all their secrect is that they are all pedofiles and like to keep their kiddyporn dungeons going, its how they blackmail oneanother and that's why they always help eachother... They have to or get exposed themselves, do 10 hours of research from official channels if you don't believe me, its not like its not in the news, just not repeated all the time like the propaganda..... -
Canada also grew during the crash.

Odin bless iceland.

Iceland has a population of 0.32 million compared to the u.s 320 million. many icelandics are working 3 jobs to counteract the high taxes the government have put in place to overcome the deficit of the banks.did this guy really use Greece and estionia as examples of other European GDP? lol every country ideally wants to be between 3-4% yearly. he picked out the two biggest failing markets in all of Europe lol
