You need a real crisis before you have reforms.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our problem is not adopting reforms, which we will do without question. It is not reaching an objective, which we will meet. But it is finding an end to the recession.
Financial crises require governments.
The reform of government needs to continue.
A long-term crisis, after a certain point, no longer seems like a crisis. It seems like the way things are.
Crises are part of life. Everybody has to face them, and it doesn't make any difference what the crisis is.
Never waste a crisis.
It's difficult when you're an appointee of any administration to publicly come out and say before a crisis occurs to say that we need to do X, Y and Z to avoid a crisis, because you probably wouldn't be around very long if you did that.
Crisis and pressure help foster change - that's why I'm not so pessimistic towards crises.
Don't wait until you're in a crisis to come up with a crisis plan.
I push reforms. I tell the truth to people, even when it's tough for the country.
