I don't think the German people ever wanted to lend money in the first place.Their leaders were dedicated to keeping the status quo in place once the EU was established and knew what that entailed even though they didn't make that clear to the public. Once Greece and a few other countries figured out just which part of the German anatomy they had their hands on they saw no reason to not to take every penny the EU moron farm would let them have for whatever lame brained reason they could come up with.
Maybe Germany can run the country for a while like emergency managers for cities in the U.S.
