Roughly the same as the National Debt for the US.
$20T/400M = $50,000
$6.5B/100K = $65,000

USVI heading down the crapper soon. Might be easier to give them back to Denmark.

Except the population of the USA is 321 million, not 400.

I'm sure Twanger estimated the illegal and refugees in the 400 figure.

I know this will come as a shock, but the island has a spending problem not a revenue problem.
The per person revenue from local and state taxes is $5,000 per person average in the United States. This year the island will take in 900 million dollars. That comes to $9,000 per person.
I haven't visited yet. My trip is scheduled for later this year. Given all that money, I imagine the streets are lined in gold.
If not gold streets, will I see massive infrastructure like New York City or Washington DC or Los Angeles?
If not, where has all the money gone? Plus there seems to be a lot of borrowing going on.
