[quote=Anonymous][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] Most posters are totally ignorant of the safety net we have. They should leave to other countries where they se the "safety net". Then they will realize we have one and in many circumstances, it's better.[/quote]
