english: 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.
non_english: Јоргос Папандреу: Очигледно је било ограничења која нису дозволила мени или неком другом да донесе онакве одлуке какве бисмо желели и очигледно сам се надао да ћемо имати времена за реформе које би се пре бавиле дефицитом него покушавањем смањења дефицита, што је симптом проблема.
