请帮忙分析一下一句英语句子
But for many,the fact that poor people are able to support themselves
almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.请分析一下这句子的成分结构,我手里答案上的中文翻译是“但对很多人来说,这个事实是现在没有政府资助,跟过去有政府资助一样能生活的下去,这本身就是一项巨大胜利”
那么单就那个the fact引导的同位语从句来说，在从句中poor people是主语，are able to support是谓语，themselves是宾语，almost as well without government aid as是状语，那么they did with it是什么成分？

答案

But for many,
【补充】
as they did with it 作状语
意思是,正如他们以前【有政府资助,能够自给自足】那样
【】中为省略内容.
