"Mr President, I will only give one speech on this subject and I was delighted to help with the ‘six pack’.
I think one of the down sides in democracy is that governments and opposition parties tend to by-elections if they can get away with it. Of course people respond in kind, the attitude being ‘never pay today what you can put off until tomorrow’. That excessive approach has led us in part, at least, to problems we find ourselves in at the minute. Thankfully, we are beginning to address it and get on top of the situation and, as my colleague Marian Harkin said, politicians are supposed to be in control, not the markets or agencies. This certainly goes a step, or hopefully six steps, in the right direction so that we can have more responsibility in the future."@en1
