Under many current basic income programs, or just under other welfare programs? My impression of basic income schemes is that they are universal - they don't care if you're a millionaire, you still get your $30K per year.

Sorry, welfare programs.

Yeah. My attribution of these issues to saving skills only applies in a UBI context, iff the scheme doesn't force people into particular spending patterns as some current welfare systems do.
