only in its current form. its meant to be a limited safety net that protects you against going under due to unforseen circumstances. because ultimately if you do go under you will end up costing the state more over time than you would if it gave you a quick pick me up and helped you back to normality.  that is objectively a good idea, not just from a moral or communitarian point of view but from a fiscal, economic point of view too. only again, its not being implemented like that currently because we have communists in power on both sides communists always take good ideas and twist them into something else that benefits their own agenda. like equality under the law. it used to mean everyone was treated equally under law. now equality means equity between minorities and the majority via the forced redistribution of resources if you can't understand this, there's no helping you and this conversation is pointless
