Last week I shared with a friend the numbers that Vance Roy provided on =
education costs, Swiss vs. USA. The response I got back by E-mail =
surprised me, she said that the Swiss cost of living was lower than in =
the U. S.=20
Can you tell me how the two countries stand on cost of living?
And a side comment from the book "Think a Second Time", where the author =
reported that there is no relationship between government spending and =
excellence in education (pages 152-155).
