Red Line and Blue Line are basically two ways of looking at the same phenomenon. Guess either one and you win.
The values are in dollar amounts, though not necessarily in $1 increments ($16 could be $16,000, $16,000,000, or $16,000,000,000).

Individual bankruptcy filings. Blue line represents total debts for average debtor seeking either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 relief, and red line represents total assets available to the bankruptcy estate of the average debtor, both in thousands of dollars.
IIRC, bankruptcy filings had a discontinuity around the time the bankruptcy reforms went into effect.
I was going to guess the blue line is US GDP, but it goes up too high in 2009.
Blue- Average credit card debt for households with credit card debt
Red- Average credit card debt for all households
In thousands of dollars.
Aaaaaaand Randy wins.
