Watching as people are chosen and names thrown out for various possible positions, there is a lot of commentary on some of the choices. Indeed Robert F Kennedy Jr as head of HHS would be a positive step forward for the health of the American people if he can wield the power and have an effect in eliminating the toxins that infect the food supply and the subsequent ultra processed foods that seem to be a staple in the diets of many.

But some have opined that the names of RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk, might be the sugar on the bitter neocon pill for the next conflict. People such as Vivik Ramaswamy, John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, all have made comments indicating hawkishness towards either Iran and/or China. Noteworthy comments indicating possible deployment of the fleet to the Pacific.
The American economy seems to have war and the weapons of war as a supporting pillar. Yet financially a conflict with these countries seems foolish at this point in time with debt rising at a rate of one hundred thousand dollars per second. Tax revenues sits at about four point six trillion, but servicing the debt sits at around two trillion. There has to be cuts coming and I would expect that one would start with the places where the most money goes to, in this case the defence budget, and healthcare.
