I don't know how much of the deficit per year is in the over a trillion dollar range. Is it like 1.3 trillion somewhere in that range? And how much do we give to Ukraine every year? A few hundred billion? Do we spend a few hundred billion per year? So maybe 15% of our deficit something like that. And then of course we have to build up our own military because we're sending our bullets over there so we got to buy our own bullets or something. So he is correct that we cannot identify the difference in our life from the Ukraine expenses. I can't identify okay how much of my inflation was because that war. Might be 10%. But it's also not ending and the amount we're spending isn't really the total issue. It's about whether we should be having a war with a nuclear power and what are we getting from it and is it worth 200 billion. And if we've got 200 billion extra to spend on anything is that where you want it to go? Because 200 billion is real money.

Anyway so far it's been 10 billion here 7 billion in there. I don't know what it adds up to.

All right Vivek Ramaswamy says that Musk is super hardcore about firing federal employees working with Trump. And I saw this on the George account. Good account to follow on X. George. Vivek Ramaswamy said it looks like Elon will use OIC on the government's fat. And here's a quote. Elon's pretty hardcore. And Vivek says I said 75% of the federal bureaucrats. He said you need to put at least 75. So Elon Musk's correction to Vivek who wanted to get rid of 75% of the bureaucrats was you should say at least. How much do you love that? How much do you love that? That if you could imagine that you could ever get rid of 75% of the bureaucrats that you should really be saying more. I just love that. I don't know that they can get rid of more than 75% but the fact that he's not going to be limited by your 75% estimate, I love that it's at least 75%.

Anyway according to the Gateway Pundit, Antonio Gracias, writer, he's got an argument in their opinion piece that liberal policies are driving up our obesity rates now up to 40% of the adults or is it everybody? 40% are obese. I don't know if that's 40% of adults and 20% of children. Now when I saw that opinion I said to myself I don't know if I want to read this because I don't think he's going to convince me that liberal policies are making people fat. Because I said to myself how are liberal policies making anybody fat? Explain that.

And he talked about how school gym classes are cutting way back so kids are less active in school. And I said public schools. Okay Democrats pretty much have a lock on everything that happens in the public school. So yeah I guess okay. Yeah less physical activity sure. Then there's fat acceptance. The idea that Democrats are pushing the idea that you don't need to lose weight. You're perfectly healthy. Nobody should judge you. And while I agree with the notion that I don't like fat shaming there's no question that the public attitude toward it has an impact on how people act, right? If people say you're fine you can be any weight you want there's going to be more people overweight. If the public says cruelly don't be like that there's probably going to be less of it. People are going to try harder.

Now there might also be some food related illnesses but that's a separate question. I'm talking about anorexia for example. There are food deserts now in a lot of poor areas because the crime was so high that places that would sell you healthier food like a grocery store just said oh we're out. Here's there's still McDonald's so good luck. That feels fair. And then of course the pandemic and the lockdown had some lasting effects. So I'm not sure how much of the obesity is because of liberal policies but I do think that Antonio made his case. He made his case. It's just we can't tell what percentage of the whole probl
