> It's absurdly backwards because it's asking you to create debt which normally is the opposite of showing you are good with money

Citation required because debt is not the same thing as money, so associating them together like you do with your assertion requires something more than just your illogical statement.

It's ironic how completely oblivious many of you are of your own system.

I live in the US and I grew up in Denmark.

Both systems allowed me to have credit cards, rent apartments, buy a car etc, but only the US system forced me to do that by creating debt to show that I could be trusted with debt.

In other words large parts of the world do in fact associate them and aren't like us in the US debt ridden.
