    Not necessarily if you want the same standard of living as you had here in fact could be more.

    Wouldn't know I am not in Dallas. But if you cant then move to Kansas, or heck Oklahoma, Nebraska, or Iowa. It is similar in all those states. I always find it insane when people say they are going to move to California and places like that. Why the hell would you want to pay a million dollars for what I can get for 100k?

    People move for many different reasons. But everybody decided to move to Kansas, that would drive up property values making it much more difficult to buy a home.

    True, plus they would bring their bad habits with them. Poor Colorado is facing that now. We have had a big influx of people fleeing that state over the last ten years.

    Nope, taxcuts for the wealthy, warmongering, voter suppression and harming We the People is the OPPOSITE of common sense but that is exactly what conservatives stand for these days.

    On second thoughts you might be right since your christianity does endorse genocide, theft of lands of other people, slavery and hypocrisy by trying to justify those crimes in the name of their imaginary deity.

    Does this figure account for cost of living?

    all false. Americans are better off now.

    People are working the economy is going well, businesses are innovating.

    Don't know what you are referring to in terms of voter suppression. The ones doung that are the ones threatening the supreme court and doing away with the electoral college.
    Trump is not harming we the people. The gun grabbers and the speech suppressors are doing that.

    All in all leftists have to try to manufacture problems in America today. Because their policies are crap, they know they are crap but they still want the power anyway.
    America is better off now than it has been since Reagan, whoes economic policies Did work no matter how much the left lies about them.

    God Exist, always has, evidenced by His creation. Don't attribute to God what was wrought by the sins of mankind and the Advocate. God came to earth in the form of Jesus of Nazarene.. He left behind an artifact that can be barely explained by our science and can not be replicated by our science.. re: the Shroud of Turin. If you were wise, you'd drop to your knees and ask forgiveness of Him.

    Made me curious so did a little research. Looks like permits and inspections here on a 3000 sq ft build is going to come in under $1000. Permits, well drilling and pump easily under $10 K for all the water you want. You guys are being extorted. :)

    Another load of rightwing bovine excrement disinformation.

    It is a FACT that 66% of We the People can NO LONGER AFFORD the American Dreams thanks ENTIRELY to the fiscal malfeasance of the GOP over the last 3+ DECADES beginning with St Reagan's VOODOO ECONOMICS and TRICKLING ON hardworking Americans.

    The economy is on the verge of going into another RECESSION which will mean MASSIVE LAYOFFS for hardworking Americans while the GREED OBSESSED Wall Street Casino Bosses and the Elite 1% continue to WALLOW in the bonuses and salary increases that they are STEALING from hardworking Americans.

    It is another INDISPUTABLE FACT that the GOP can ONLY win elections through VOTER SUPPRESSION. GOP leaders have even BRAGGED about doing it.

    The EC is an anachronism that gives makes votes UNEQUAL and therefore it is a VIOLATION of the basis of everyone being equal under the Law of the Land.

    NO ONE is "grabbing" any guns. That is just NRA fearmongering CRAP.

    Such statistics are completely meaningless without the necessary comparisons of many other factors in a nation's economy.

    What does it cost to live in Bel Air, California? Now, what does it cost to live in Harare, Zimbabwe? What is the average salary of people who live in Bel Air? How much is the average salary of people Harare?

    The 'World Bank' is a joke anyway, for so many reasons -- nevertheless, who in their right mind would compare a Bugatti Veron with a Yugo...?

    How many times do you need to be told that your BLOTUS ABDUCTING children from their parents is a Crime Against Humanity?

    Nothing beats a fake "holy relic" to dupe the "faithful".

    If your imaginary deity exists then he is 100% responsible for all of the GENOCIDES done in his name and by his own hand. How many "unborn babies" did he MURDER today? How many children did he allow to STARVE to death when he could have sent rainfall? How many children did he allow to be sexually molested when he could have intervened?

    Your imaginary deity is a very sick sociopath according to his own "word of god".

    Agreed that the OP is an inane comparison.

    There are places in the world where it is possible to live very comfortably on nothing but Social Security. I am sure that the local economies in those places are benefitting from the foreign exchange. Some of these places also have world class medical facilities at a fraction of the cost that we are paying here in the USA.

    That lifestyle is only possible because of the USD exchange rate with the local currencies. If the dollar were to collapse or Social Security were to fail then those expats would fall into the same poverty as the locals.
