It's true that the public transportation services are better in Europe 
but, to the end, it's not really cheap if you include in the total 
price : the tickets and all the direct and indirect taxes you have to 
charge to get them availables...  The same could be say in about the 
public education or hearth policies... If you need serious solutions 
for your kids and familly, you will have to pay twice for that : one 
trough the public policy imperatives taxes and charges, one for the 
personal private insurances you need to sign-in too, to get access to 
little more than "virtual only" education or hearth services...

To the end, the european public services and policies have been lots 
more performant (1946/1973) than what they are today and will go down, 
more and more, tomorrow.
