Well, that's a misleading title. All the countries in their list have some debt, just less than most.

All countries carry some debt, because they need to show a history of reliably making payments on that debt in case they need to borrow money in the future for whatever reason. Not all countries, however, run massive deficits every year.

  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
