Let's say someone soent 95% of their food stamp money every month for 20 months
or 90% for 10 months
or 80% for 5 months
then they would have one month left over food stamp money to spend saved up by now to cover one month of shut down
but do they have the math skills and self discipline to save food stamp money
@shortstories
Are you arguing low time preference and high time preference with free stuff?
