Here I feel like I don't know anyone who benefits from gov't programs, but see lots of stories about grifters

Presumably, you benefited from an LSU education, subsidized by the state of Louisiana. You benefit from the U.S. military, from your local police, from those who build and maintain your roads, and countless others. We all benefit, just like those citizens in those Scandinavian countries. If Trump's COVID checks kept the economy from cratering, you benefit from that.
