True! Of course tourists from here would notice things like clothes, petrol, cars.

I still don't know why our clothes and shoes are so expensive; the clothes are all made in China after all and some of the shoes are. Until I got a full-time job I lived in Crocs.

I also don't know why so many Americans are afraid of a national health service like the UK has, and we have to a lesser extent. The rich probably prefer survival of the richest--I often suspect that of our right-wing governing National party--but surely the majority should realise they'd benefit.
