It’s a really hard mindset to break because at it’s surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.

Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it’s not a good life, they don’t make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The “welfare queen” stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people’s opinion.

Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn’t starving.
