 All of those countries are in debt up to their eyeballs, just like US.

"Just like the US"?  Let's look at some actual numbers:
Norway, 40% of GDP
Denmark 31
Sweden  34
India   83
Germany 62
France  90
Japan  250
Taiwan  30
US     122
Four of these are definitely not in debt up to their eyeballs, and only one is worse off than the US.
Norway's actual debt is zero, as its sovereign wealth fund far exceeds its debts. Taiwan's debt is actually falling.
