Years, and so now its about a $50 billion a year worth of these refundable tax credits. paul: what about the impact of this particular tax provision on economic growth? republicans have long sold tax cuts as contributing to growth, i think fairly so. but does this do the same thing as, say, an income tax cut? >> well, good tax policy should promote economic growth, higher wages and better living standards. but tax credits dont do that. they are simply a income transfer. so in some cases they can...

Committee numbers, have been able to sometimes persuade a joe manchin, kyrsten sinema or another holdout to vote with hem. it would become much, much harder if this were to happen. one thing to point out, paul, on the flipside, this has made it harder for walker, because hes lost a really big argument that he had which is that, look, if you elect me, we will, we will keep -- we can turn the senate back to republicans. thats long gone now because of what happened in the other races. and thats why...

Biggest protests in years in china, but they look to be being snuffed out here at least in the short term. what kind of risks does this pose for chinese the authorities? chinese authorities? >> it poses tremendous risk, paul. this is really building into a crisis of legitimacy for xi jinping and the communist party. the covid lockdowns have been draconian. as you noted, theyve been going on for three years. the covid virus is apolitical, and now if it breaks out in china causing deaths or seriou...

>> well, all of those come into play, but i think it starts off for a very lowers teem for all the major institutions today when its government, media, religion or unions, all of those are at an all-time low mainly because theres a feeling that they are not fixing their problems, theyre not dealing with their problems. and that brings the sinnism. and sinnism then plays -- cynicism plays into being more open to demagoguery. so when you do see demagoguery on social media or superpacs or campaigns...

That you would do? >> i dont believe campaign finance reform you can do away with large rickses. i think its a giant balloon that if you squeeze that on one end, it gets even bigger on the oh. but i do like what virginia has done which is made -- open disclosure immediately, and the campaigns got the money, not superpacs. and one of big concerns iveed had to deal with is if youre lucky if you can control 25 the president of the message. paul: we have to take one more break. when we come back, hi...
