    Absolutely.

    $60k a year will do well in some areas, yet leave you in poverty in others. A cost of living index already exists. That could easily be applied to current living situations.

    Yes. It costs way more to live up north, then down south.

    Consider it a way for nothern states to get more of their money back. In general, northeast blue states pay more federal taxes then they get in federal reveneue.

    The government should stop handing out money like it was confetti and cut all these giveaways, that’s what ought to be done.

    Not really, this will just encourage states to run reckless financial plans that increase the cost of living. The more you spend in “assistance,” the higher cost of living goes.

    Its a pretty wicked cycle that just gets worse so long as we continue to live beyond our means.

    Hey guys, I decided minimum wage in Florida should be $100 an hour! Unfortunately, rent is up to $10,000 a month now. Can I have some federal handouts? You know, the cost of living is too high.

    No Tracey, we believe your politicians are to blame for the fact that nothing is affordable anymore after decades of empty, leftist promises.

    Not in a practical, sensible world. Only if they’re trying to buy votes. But, then, politicians are ALWAYS trying to buy votes, aren’t they?

    Of course. Believing that the rates to purchase health care are the same in Alabama as they are in New York is ridiculous.

    People from states with lower costs of living don’t believe it when you tell them how much things cost…a house, for example, in the Northeast or urban California. They think you’re making it up to fool them.
