The German parliament has overwhelmingly supported an increase in funds for the bailout pot for countries that use the euro and get into trouble. But opinion polls here suggest many German people are nervous about handing over too much money to others. The self styled 'powerhouse' of the European economy may be in relatively rude health now, but things are beginning to look ominous.
