My point is that even if there are observable problems with a system, that doesn't necessarily mean the whole thing needs to be done away with. You have to look at the bigger picture. You have to compare the costs with the benefits rather than just point out the costs and freak out. I do think that there is a thin line between helping people who are down on their luck and enabling people who just don't want to work though.
And regarding locking people up after they've committed the crime: No one who died on 9/11 came back after Osama was killed. There is something to be said for being proactive about crime rather than simply reactive.
