Must have been the correct course of action, since the Conservatives keeping pimping "their" economic action plan.
Stimulus spending in a recession is what you should do. The thing is you should also pay for it by running surpluses in the booms (which is also buffer room), and that's where the Conservatives screwed up. They saw the surplus as excessive taxation / insufficient spending rather than just part of the business cycle.
