Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

That's because it is. Copenhagen is expensive, but it's not as expensive in absolute terms as New York, or even Los Angeles. Prices are triple of... Kuala Lumpur? Delhi?

Comparing Copenhagen to San Francisco, or NYC is hardly a fair comparison at all. Yes, there are places here where prices are triple the normal. I'm talking about a normal meal at a cafe, or a cup of coffee. I live in an average area, where things are normal. There are places where things are much cheaper, like in rural Alabama, but then you need to pay in other ways. Where is Doc? I miss his rural southern opinions.

So, yes, Kandrathe is, for the millionth time, throwing out a massively exaggerated figure, which no doubt fits with his ideological caricature, but does not come even close to matching reality.

At least a million. Why not go for billion?

1 gallon of milk costs me $1.65, in Denmark it would be $4.16. To fill up my 15 gallon gas tank costs about $41.25, in Denmark it would be $104.48. A loaf of bread is about $1, in Denmark it is $1.45 (Ja!, so not everything is triple ).
