[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some things are cheaper in Europe because there is a social safety net which means workers don’t need to be paid enough to cover health insurance premiums and retirement savings. The costs are spread elsewhere. I did find restaurants in Rome somewhat cheaper than DC. London and Paris seemed about the same. Was looking at Madrid recently and was surprised by how expensive restaurants were. [/quote] That is a good point. There is a social safety net, plus healthcare in most countries except the US now. [/quote] This is a very simplistic view of the welfare benefits provided in both Europe and the US. Could you be that ignorant of what we spend on people in the US?[/quote]
