Actually that’s assumed in my depiction of such a system.
There is always going to be slacking/welfare advantage - that’s a given for me.
It’s sort of a system weakness. The side point is how much of this dead weight loss is there vs how much actual good is done.
In general there’s a lot of good that’s done in comparison to the good.
The point I’m making is hat politicians will always point to the dead weight loss because it has massive PR/optical appeal.
“Observe there the knave!”
It’s a matter of a systemic loss to one system, being an outsize gain to another program.
The trick is to avoid letting politicians get to a stage where such imagery has optical value.
This means a society which usually has enough for most people, no manipulation of relations to paint one group or the other as villains and a generally efficient enough govt that people don’t stop to say “this needs to end”.
