Not with the Irish economy going the way it's going.

But I think that's partially why it's depressing, I know California's economy is going downhill, but ours is going downhill just as fast.

Not exactly surprising, Ireland holding top spot in external debt per capita, which is in today's situation is more meaningful indicator than external debt to GDP =) Well over half a million USD if I remember it correctly. And yes, Portugal, Spain, Greece are all there as well in top-20.

Debt is not the problem...it is the growth rate of the debt that is the problem;.
