Iceland knows how to deal with Bankers and the IMF

So they chose not to pay of the debt of the banks in their country or to bail them out with "loans"? Good for the Icelanders.Its not their debt they shouldn't pay it or bail out companies.
 
What happened next was extraordinary. The belief that citizens had to pay for the mistakes of a financial monopoly, that an entire nation must be taxed to pay off private debts was shattered, transforming the relationship between citizens and their political institutions and eventually driving Iceland’s leaders to the side of their constituents. The Head of State, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, refused to ratify the law that would have made Iceland’s citizens responsible for its bankers’ debts, and accepted calls for a referendum.

Bravo. :applaud

Yes, I realize this isn't exactly comparable to our situation but it's exactly what we need to do.

I was going to go with "shoot them."
 
I seem to recall Hungary telling the IMF to go forth and multiply in a similar way a couple of years ago.
