I see no problem with taking government handouts, but opposing them in principal. I would take "free' money as well. However, I would use this analogy. I am trapped on a deserted I am stranded with five other people. We have five cans of food, but each can is a different group. I lobby the group by saying 'lets open one can per day, so it lasts longer". I am out voted by the other members of my group as they want to open all cans at once, to have some verity. Although I thinks it's a bad idea, I'm still eating out of all the cans on our one banquet day.
