That is not what I meant, and that is not what Germany is doing. Germany is demanding control over the economies of all these other countries. No US state would demand to exercise control over the budgets of any other state, nor does the federal government demand such control over the budgets of individual states.
Could you imagine that someone asks Texas to bail out California ? Yes i can !
“Germany is demanding control over the economies of all these other countries.”
No, they want the EU to take control. Something compareable to a combination of the IRS and the GAO.
