From a purely stimulative point of view, I'm not sure it makes any difference whether a dollar gets spent on food or a Canyonero. Of course, if no dollars get spent on Canyoneros, you don't get a Canyonero industry maybe you want one. for reasons beyond stimulus. On the other hand, the nature of discretionary income is that there's discretion, which means that person can also choose to save.
