In a heated exchange, CNN's Poppy Harlow confronts Trump's top economic adviser

Aug 8 - New York (CNN Business)If you get paid more to stay at home than go to work, why would you go to work?

That's the logic Larry Kudlow, the White House's Director of the National Economic Council, and the Trump administration subscribe to. In a testy back and forth with CNN's Poppy Harlow, Kudlow said Republicans want to scale back the $600 weekly supplemental unemployment insurance benefit in a bill or executive action that would renew the expired emergency provision.

"I think it is a disincentive to go back to work," Kudlow said of the checks. "We think we can create a much better balance to provide incentives to come back to work."Kudlow cited a recent University of Chicago study as evidence backing the claim. The study found two-thirds of people receiving emergency unemployment benefits are making more money on unemployment than they were when they were working.
