Sorta, not really.
Europeans are often shocked at how cheap things are in the US.
The VAT (sorta like a sales tax) in France is 20%, compared to 6-7% here. Gas is around $6 a gallon.
On the other hand for all of our cheap "stuff", the US tends to make up for it in high housing/healthcare/education costs.
