-state actors terrorism is the third dimension of the threat to america and so you have the trump administration sort of bringing together the america first or overarching sort of agit prop of the trump election campaign with this idea that the rise of china or the reemergence of russia now back on its feet means that america is receding that america is being humbled that america is the victim that america is threatened and so i think what trump has actually done is articulate the not just the possibility of a new cold war but the logic of a new cold war and thus it becomes almost official in washington and. things will follow from that ok well that's a very interesting takeaway mike what was your reaction to it because when it was over a year ago i think it was when we still had candidate trump and he was. in the national interest i think his article was i mean this principled realism i still don't see anything principled and i don't see any really real is a minute here go ahead mike. hi peter nice to be with you i agree with some of what brian just said i do think that there is

a teacher, firefighter, welder, you're a bus driver, the backbone of america's workers, their main tax liability is their payroll tax. and unless you allow the tax credit to apply fully not just to their income tax, many of whom don't have a high income tax liability but a payroll tax, they're not going to enjoy the full benefit. the result is kind of absurd if you do one without the other, and the result is that if you make $500,000 a year and you have enough kids, you can use the whole credit. but if you don't make that much money, if you make like $25,000 a year, you won't get nearly as much of the credit, even though you paid the taxes. it kind of doesn't make any sense, right? we're trying to help people with the cost of raising children by allowing them to keep more of their own money. it's the people who make less that need it the most. and when you only do half of it, which is the $2,000 increase, you only get it half right. and so it's good. there are people that are going to be helped by that, but we could have helped so much more. the little we have today that is before
