So what the US is doing ?

I don't feel like they're doing much better, especially for the bottom 30%



USA is a lot inefficient with spending money as a lot of it get syphoned in one way or another from various interest groups, from big pharma/healthcare/insurance, hedge funds that run universities to local government that run homeless shelter in opaque way (ask Cuomo sister). As OECD data, US social spending as % of GDP is above OECD average at 22.7%[0]

They aren't doing any better, and for the same reasons.


> the same reasons.

Which reasons ? Both systems are about as opposed as you can imagine without straight up walking out of capitalism


Yes, keep going...


You're the one making vague arguments, I'm not going to do your homework
