    Growing consensus this a.m. seems to be that the GOP will propose cutting UI benefits from $600/week to ~$200-300 -- then Pelosi will come back with extending $600 & they'll compromise somewhere in the $400 range Of course, none of that works if the whole deal falls apart

        The other big factor here is how long the benefits are extended for. Sounds like if they only extend it for 2-3 months or so the benefit will be bigger -- if they extend it through December it would presumably be at a lower amount

        Meanwhile, those of us who depend on the 600 (I only get $178 regular UI) are hanging off a cliff. And they’re playing footsie. I’m FURIOUS.

        Pelosi should try to make rent on $400.

        It’s weird to blame Pelosi for this when the GOP is offering $200 and she wants to maintain the $600.

        Can we do what Canada did and wipe out mortgages/rent for 6 months? Everyone would be waaay better off just tacking that on the end.

        Unfortunately, that'd make too much sense
