2. For the money spent on the bases around the world,

The US could fix its education and health care woes and watch the rest of the world make their own accommodations. If the US had ceased interfering in the Middle East after the cold war ended, Israel would not have been able to keep amassing territory, several régimes would likely have toppled all on their own, and the IMF might actually have helped alleviate poverty instead of exploiting it.
