Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

Listen to yourself. You're complaining that they're including things whose prices are equal. But that's the point!

We don't buy an iPod every week. But, we do buy dairy products, bread, meat, and gasoline. If you look at look at popular COLA guides, you'll see that Denmark in general ranks very high with Copenhagen vying amoungst the top ten most expensive places to live in the world.

Where I live doesn't even rank when looking at high costs, but we do rank here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cit..._of_living when you look at quality of life. It's really cheap to live here, and if you can put up with the cold, then there are real advantages.

I know that not everything in Denmark is double to triple in price, but my impression is that the things that matter are much, much higher by factors of 2 or 3.

For example, housing in Denmark - rental homes were between $4000 and $8000 per month. Here in the MSP Metro area - $1000 to $3000
