What harms the American living standard is the omnipresent insecurity, more than anything else. The American health-care system basically puts working people in a very precarious position, because it will not cover you if you get really sick and start costing them money on a continuous basis.

Removing any permanant base from the middle east would go a long way to fight the "war on terror", I think. Owing to the fact the main rallying call is western interfearance in the islamic world. I trust the US still has bases in Saudi Arabia, though? Nope.. Any in the entire Middle East?...
