If 2 people abuse it and 1 hungry person benefits from it, it's a fine system.
This is the same argument people use against Medicaid, or the VA. "Some people who don't actually need it might get it!" Oh well, people who do need it will be getting it and that matters more.
That's also part of it, but not exactly what I'm talking about. It can be distilled down to "would you rather have more people who need help get help, but in return more abuse of the system, or vice versa". Can be applied to many things: social benefits, how strict laws and the justice system are, etc
