Will probably depend on who you talk to: businessmen, consumers, people who read 3 daily newspapers during breakfast, people who never even watch the evening news....

From what hear around me here in Vienna, a lot of people are aware of the problem and are simply flabbergasted by the huge amounts of money politicians are talking about. I also hear somewhat angry comments about Greece and the ongoing protests there, like "Were supposed to pay for them and they go on strike."

OTOH, I don't see any fear or even nervousness about possible economic consequences or the stability of the currency. Maybe this is because the crisis 2009 was talked about everywhere and dominated the news for months, but in the end nobody suffered from it in real life. No losses, nothing. It may have influenced how people react to economic disasters.
