The United States has a debt of over $18 Trillion, that is about $151,000 per taxpayer. Of course there are other unfunded outlays like retirement benefits to the hard working, productive government workers like the US military, US homeland security staff, etc.
Moreover the nation has neglected infrastructure in favor of military programs and corporate bailouts, exacerbating the ability to care about our territories when they're struck by disasters because it's "too costly" to care about our citizens.
