i just came back from 5 yrs in the US working...was in NJ most of the time.....for sure many things are way cheaper in the US than here, software, electrical goods, housing ;-) the list goes on..
Id sooner pay double the price here however than listen to another American whinge and whine about some pi$$ ant local issue that is irrelevant...
I will visit the US again but will never, ever go back and work there....the people are just insane and so self centred on the whole..self absorbed i would suggest....and gullable!
Beautiful country...but I cannot handle some of the peoples attitudes.
