I can understand the principle behind this objection, but I can only see this increasing crime rates and all the costs associated with them. The annual price of incarcerating somebody is huge, probably at least twice as high as keeping a person on welfare. Then you can throw in the cost of regularly testing all recipients for drugs, other justice costs (police, lawyers, etc.), the cost of criminal damages...
I just don't see it paying off. Maybe I'm wrong. The only way to know is for some jurisdiction to try it and track the results.
