In the big cities of the United States, the debt increases and the population decreases

US taxpayers are responsible for increasing municipal and public debt in 8 of the 10 largest cities in the United States over the previous year, according to a Truth in Accounting badysis.

But Chicago and Philadelphia, the two cities where the burden of debt has eased, are still in the worst position and fourth.

The three largest cities with the largest debts in the country (Chicago, New York and Los Angeles) are among the major metropolitan areas of the United States that are losing population. Supposedly, those who decide not to move will bear a growing burden of debt per capita.

Among the top 100 metropolitan areas, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles top the list of exoduses, losing three out of every three numbers every day.

"Our" burden on taxpayers "reflects the need to raise taxes in the future.One way to avoid these increases is to move them," said Sheila Weinberg, Founder of Truth in Accounting, a taxpayer advocacy group.

According to the report, Chicago is in the worst situation. Each citizen receives $ 36,000 of the city's debt, to which are added $ 68,310 in county bonds and underlying government units, such as transportation and transportation authorities. housing. The proportion of each taxpayer's public debt is $ 50,800 more.
