George Papandreou: Well, obviously there were constraints which didn't allow me or others to make the types of decisions we would have wanted, and obviously I had hoped that we would have the time to make the reforms which would have dealt with the deficit rather than trying to cut the deficit which was the symptom of the problem.
George Papandreou : Ya, jelas ada paksaan yang tidak membiarkan saya atau yang lain untuk membuat jenis keputusan yang kami inginkan, dan jelas saya berharap kami mempunyai waktu untuk membuat reformasi yang dapat mengatasi defisit daripada mencoba untuk mengurangi defisit yang adalah gejala dari permasalahan tersebut.
