Now for quality of life. With a better economy, more jobs, healthcare, great working conditions, time off for family leave, time off for vacation, higher wages, and policies that will push for mandates for all of this? that is how Bernie Sanders, focusing all of his term on fixing our broken economy, can make for a better quality of life for the people that live here in the USA.
There is A LOT of influence that the president and his office can do to affect, and DOES affect your quality of life. It is the central issue that drives the governments of most developed nations.. not the nation that spends more on military than the next 14 countries combined mind you, but MOST countries.

Leaving the "hope and change" rationale you gave aside for the moment, I want to point out that I am asking for concrete examples of what Sanders will do to come through on your claim. I am not wanting to be snarky, but you have given the same list concerning "quality of life" that every single presidential candidate spouts off in their sleep. Not a SINGLE one presents a specific plan as to how they are going to accomplish such great things. There is a vast difference between saying "I am going to fix health care" and "This is how I am going to fix health care, x... y... z." HUGE difference.
Also I get what you are trying to say about our spending on military, but the USA does have obligations to the world, being a superpower and all. We are the spine of NATO. I mean no offense to those reading this who live in Europe, but the days are long gone that England, Spain, or France can muster a military might that will protect Europe, Britain, and Canada. If you have a better plan as to how we can keep our security obligations in those countries (including Japan and South Korea) without retreating from the world, then by all means spell it out. Until then, I submit that you're just repeating a "party line" equivalent to the other's side "we need a stronger military."
