Draw the Line

Elon Musk’s DOGE came and went,

without solving the problem:
Welfare cheats—
how do you stop them?

Help the poor—

that’s what we want to do.

But people who aren’t poor slip in,

and want money too.

Where do we draw the line?

How do we eliminate the cheat?

It’s a tricky question.

It’s a difficult feat.
