146. What factor dictates a downward revision of the length of the stimulus?
I assume there was the expectation that the government would do "it's job" when the funding was allocated and the length set. So, the question remains operative regardless of your inability to answer it.

You know that conditions have not improved in such a way to indicate a reduction in need from when the funding duration was set meaning either a reduction has no merit at this time or you are asserting that food stamps were overfunded in the first place, potentially meaning the whole deal isn't properly weighted and targeted.

Why do you believe they overshot the needs of the good stamp program so drastically and what made them catch the error at this time?

Questions aren't stupid because you don't have an answer other than a talking point and they don't go away because you throw some snark out.
