Are people that have a lot of debt more prone to suicide?

From my experiences, a large amount of debt is a factor for insurance companies when considering coverage.

If that is true, how does someone with a billion dollars in debt get the highest security clearance?

Just an observation.

with a spike during the tweens and again in middle age. Rates have been spiking up in both groups. Native American suicides saw the biggest spike, suicides of women nearly doubling. Black male suicides are down, probably because they're too busy trying not to be killed by the cops.

Looks like oppression is a bigger factor than being a billionaire with a big debt load. Might as well give those crooks security clearance so they can leak like funnels, right to the Kremlin.
