Republicans view the supplement as a disincentive to return to work. Democrats think cutting off aid would cause financial hardship for millions.

Obviously both are true. Find a new number that reduces both effects.

Agree. New number or way of reducing the subsidy if employment offer is declined. That might be impossible to manage.

Damn.. nobody ever gives me anything,...

Not to worry, the household is still a net public provider.

How about a $300 extension AND a $600 (1 time) grant for those returning to work to help cover their increased costs...
