When I was growing up, even the back of the cereal box proclaimed how in expensive food was here compared to other countries.You don't hear that anymore. Just finished speaking to a visitor from UK who price compared certain items, reported $ 20 here likely to have cost 8 pounds there. What happened? Not just Bidenomics I think.

after-tax salary is enough to cover living expenses for 1.5 months in the United Kingdom compared to 1.9 months in the United States

This is perhaps more to the point of affordability than the raw cost of necessities. The difference is probably in the comparisons of taxes and wages.

even Sweden is less expensive ( by a lot) with a higher “personal freedom index”

Bread is more than double here? Just why?

The real killer to me is life expectancy. WE hardly even rank compared to the rest of the modern world. Best health care system in the world? Hardly. Most expensive? Probably.

It sure as hell wasn't like that when I was stationed there in the 1970's, admittedly, a long time ago. In those days, what you could buy with $100 in the U.S. would cost you an estimated $135 (in pounds) in the UK.

Biden inflated the money because he spent like a drunken sailor... lots of loot for his croniew and favored ‘matha earf’ stuff.

I hear they have free health care in the UK which was once called socialized medicine.

All I can say is that with what passes for health care in the UK, it is a good thing they do not have the right to bear arms.

There would be a lot of dead DHS bureaucrats with holes in their backs because 40 per cent of young folk in America believe it is acceptable to have open season on killing healthcare executives and clearly those in the UK have greater grievances when it comes to health care.

[I want the USA back]

The US cost of living is an average, over 50 states. Knowing that number does no one any good. Better to give a number for each state.
