#4 I wonder who they think is going to bail them out.

Like California, they think the Beltway will. They did in 2008 when they 'honored' paper that was not suppose to be backed by federal guarantees resulting in shipping tens of billions of dollars in TARP payments to German, French, etc banks and investment houses.

The money wasn't funnelled to bail out French/German Banks it was funnelled to a trans-national rent-seeking elite with no loyalty to a particular country that owned the underlying bonds.

#7 "I am worried that Germany's authorities are slowly losing sight of the European common good," said Jean-Claude Juncker, chair of Eurogroup finance ministers.

That happens when you are asked to constantly tighten your belt so that other people can eat out every night.
