No, benefits (and costs) are not inherently subjective when we're 
talking about issues with societal impacts. They are subject to data and 
accounting, dollars and cents.

"We need to raise your taxes to hire full time security guards and 
harden all our school buildings against the possibility of assault with 
rapid fire guns" is a real societal issue.

And BTW, "everything is subjective" removes any possibility of 
intelligent discussion.
