I'm leaving your last edit (diff) for now, but you might like to bear in mind that editors should not add commentary. For example, if properly sourced and appropriate, an article may say "Politician X says the country must reduce annual expenditure by 10%". We do not add "but X gave no clue about how that might be done", because while almost certainly true, that is the view of the personal editor, and is just editorial point scoring. Again, if sourced and if due, we might say "Y said X gave no clue about how that might be done", where Y is a suitably qualified commentator. It should be rare for such back-and-forth quotes to be given because articles should not enter into daily gossip: it might be better to just omit the whole thing because X's statement about reducing expenditure is probably not very important to the article.
