Quick math shows Alaska’s deficit is about $2,500 per person($1,650,000,000/660,000) and NY States $620 per person ($12,000,000,000/19,300,000).
If you look closely, the “deficit” is the amount which would normally go to savings, which I believe is much different than New York’s actual shortfall.
I’m sure NY has more people that AK. New York City probably has more than AK. We’re just about broke here.
