Has there been any reduction is federal subsidies of local governments? If Berlin sends German taxpayers' money to Greece instead of German cities and states, then the localities will have to make up for it and it will be because of the bailout.
That’s what Germany’s elite politicians want to do. They seem to be especially fond of EU member states being so indebted via loans—which is what all of these are, with the borrowing terms being explicit that they have to surrender their economic policy to the EU’s central government. (Sounds like what Obama wants to do with the US states, frankly, but via different means.)
