Both (partly) right at different different stages in the 'cycle'.

The boom happened. Now there's a bust. Time for some Keynesian-type remedies.

But stimulus devoted to long-term sustainable infrastructure and social policies would be good investments (which is where supluses should have been spent during the good times), as opposed to just stimulating mindless consumption.
