If you do a mapping between the % federal spending and % debt, you'll notice that a lot of the countries that are higher up on that list also aren't in the best economic shape right now. Though just discussing the statistics is troublesome because a lot haven't been updated in the past decade.

But I suppose we're straying away from the spirit of the original article, and I'm not really a trained economist, so my ability to make useful sense of that information is fairly limited. :)
