Lower standard of living?? Yesterday I drank a bottle of wine from france (with a small "f") ate pesto from Monterey, bought $100 of dollars worth of close for $60 bucks, and $100 pair for $30. I eat sleep and drink like a king and I don't make much money. America has obese epidemic and an unemployment rate of %6. If this is not the land of milk and honey what is??? If you can't make the doe learn a trade, try truck driving it pays 40-50 grand a year, or stucco or masonry or build furniture or roofing, or fishing or real estate or finance or medical supplies salesman or go get your law degree or teaching degree. What planet are you from???? Grow up and get to work!!!

No mistake, you are correct, America is still, currently the best and highest standard of living, but in my opinion is is not getting any better or improving.
Look no further than many of our great cities. Many of them now resemble 3rd world countries, with senseless murder zones and huge areas that look like the have been completely abandoned. Many of our states are now operating in the red and with shrinking tax bases etc.
This is just my observations from traveling all over this country.
