Keep your subjective "Quality of Life" out of the economic discussion unless you what to discuss GDP per capita. 

Wage stagnation, affordable access to basics (healthcare, rent, etc), infrastructure. Although, I wouldn't say we can't manage those things, we just opt not to under the guise of a "free market" that's heavily subsidized and regulated in favor of profits. The idea was that corporate welfarewould create jobs and trickle down, but that never really happened. So we ended up with a system of high costs, low controls and flat wages. Or, also known as 'the opposite of Germany.'
