recovery, we ve increased revenue to the federal government by $344 billion. if we just return to a normal economy, like we had in 2007, under president bush, where proven was 18.5% of our economy, that would raise another $400 billion per year. the president s proposal right now, the highest estimated is $75 billion, a tenth of that. economic growth is 10 finals more effective at raising revenue. the problem with punishing success, the problem with the president s proposal, it will put that economic growth at risk. you know, i think the best question really is, what is the president s plan? show us your plan. this is about returning confidence to the economy. greta: a plan to rev up the economy or a plan for spending cuts? a plan for reducing the deficit which actually would return certainty to the economy, restore confidence, which would help economic growth. punishing success will not do that. temporary tax increases don t do that as well. greta: it s interesting,
eight years, not even in a decade, $344 billion will be the cost of taking care of diseases associated with obesity and specifically if you want to break that down overall into health care expenditures as a country, almost a quarter, 21% of total medical costs are used to treat these sort of diseases much. and chad myers, i don t know about you, but i m fighting, fighting, fighting, every day to try to do something about this dog gone spare tire. you know what, they don t think they use this anymore, because it has bad self esteem. but there was slim, regular and husky. and husky. and i was always the 14 husky. it s worked, man. it really is. i don t think you can put that on anything, anymore. i don t know that they actually have that anymore. i had my first and probably last bratwurst of the fourth of july season yesterday. look at this satellite, tony. this is like four days of satellite. start over here. this is where this alex was. it came across belize. then it kind o
cost overall. you look at doss of obesity overall. as things stand now, $147 billion a year. break that down specifically in childhood obesity, per year. $14 billion associated with chronic disease, associated with childhood obesity. what s projected to happen over the next eight years, just in eight years, not even a decade, $344 billion will be the cost of taking care of diseases associated with obesity and specifically break that down into health care expenditures a quarter, 21% of total medical costs to treat the diseases. $144 billion a year now. to give you a scale of reference now to take care of all cancers out there, diagnosis, treatment of cancers, is about $104 billion. this surpassed that as things stand right now. people are paying attention and starting to see more incentive force people to stay healthier at the national and state level. you are seeing about three-quarters of people that
sensitive to obesity? this year alone, it will cost us close to $147 billion due to this particular chronic disease. we continue this trend, talk about 2018, just a few years away, the coast goes to $344 billion, again, due to obesity. you start to take a macro look at all this, overall, the expenditures, percentage of overall health care spending, about 21%. why? simply because america is too fat. that doesn t take into account what is happening into your body. let me show you a couple things as a doctor. we talk about the effect on heart disease all the time. you look at someone s heart specifically, you go in, start to strip-away the heart, what can happen, blood vessels become too small, heart has to work increasingly harder, beats faster, makes it more difficult to sustain itself and potentially lead to heart failure. a huge problem.
