> If the choice is between saving the lives of the poor with corruption vs letting them die without I would choose the former any day. Corruption inherently makes the system insolvent, and in the worst-case, will result in a major debt if not addressed early on. |

False. Profitable private companies have to deal with loss all the time. It's called shrinkage. It can be mitigated, but like everything the costs of mitigation must be weighed against the benefits.

Keep in mind, right-wing governments actively exploit this "corruption exists, therefore the entire social program is worthless" bug in our national consciousness. It's an effective political tool to transfer wealth away from the poor.
