Why is welfare production not part of the economy? FYI, welfare includes healthcare.
And thats not the question at all. The question is, which economy is most efficient. An economy that produces cheapest, most abundandt and highest quality goods and services is the most efficient, and in quality fairness is included. An economy is not efficient if the rich gets AIDS removal therapy while the poor is treated with leaches.
"The USSR had some serious famines and a lot of people died."
I never said they didnt. I said that the starvation events in the soviet union where just that, accidental events, while the hunger in the US is systemic and not accidental at all. Each event in Soviet union were higher than the US but acculmulated the US wins the starvation score. GO USA!!!
