"I said that this would replace the American system of government with a European-type system of government. That was unfair. That was unfair to Europe.

This budget proposes, using your own numbers, that our deficit never even gets below four percent of GDP, which would put you in violation of the European Maastricht Treaty. This doesn’t even conform to European standards.”
