US ranks seventh.

Oooohhhh, and look at all the socialist cuckdoms in the top 6. Wonder if that's a coincidence???????

Also, what's the year-over-year trend looking like in the US compared to, for example, Denmark????

Do we need to have a lesson on how to read charts?

Apparently we do. We can start with a lesson on how not to cherry pick your data.

If the US is the least socialist country on that list and has a middling-to-high personal debt ranking, seems to me the issues are likely orthogonal to one another. There's hardly a strong correlation if any between socialism and personal debt.

Also, regarding the year-over-year trend, maybe you didn't hear about the housing crash in 2008 and noticed that there's a clear correlation between the countries hit hardest by that (US and UK) and a reduction in debt between 2007 and 2010.

here's another chart.

Now, before you misintrepret this one too, please note that the US is still in the middle of the group. This to me does not show socialism makes people go bankrupt. Or maybe it's only the lefties in the US who have personal debt I dunno.
