USA v Australia

I have just returned from a month travelling accross USA. I noticed several points of interest as follows:- Petrol was half the price we pay in QLD Clothes were a third of the price, same brands Beer was half the price we pay or less Taxes were half what we pay Household water was at least half the price we pay. Electricity was likewise cheaper No carbon tax or discussion, but did see bankrupt mmassive wind farms. Things are very tough in us and it looks like they are ready exile the big spending debt burden democrats. Ok it's easy to say they have a much bigger population in USA but we have much bigger government to make a mess of our lifestyles. It's time we gave all policians notice that they are appointed to spend wisely, provide well and respond to the majority and forget manic fringe groups?
