Sometimes words just don't show things as clearly as a colorful chart. :o

When viewing keep in mind Greece's current population is only around 11 million.

Ireland's is about 6 million.

And of course the USA is about 310 million...........

Course we have to keep in mind some of the blatant lies in the USA stats like unemployment numbers and total debt.

Yup!

A more honest interpretation of the number is the US's Median Income to Debt per Capita is around 70%.

Greece's is around 40%.

This is our and their perceived ability to pay back the debt.
