KEEP IT, KEEP IT , KEEP IT

RATHER THAN BEAT IT, BEAT IT, BEAT IT - THE FREE LUNCH SYSTEM - SHOULD STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SAY ‘KEEP IT’ TO ‘FREE’ FEDERAL MONIES STOLEN FROM THE POCKETS OF TAXPAYERS. MY CONSCIENCE QUIVERS KNOWING THAT FUNDS PROVIDED FOR HOMELAND SECURITY, WHICH ARE UNNECESSARY IN MY LOCALE, ARE NOT SENT BACK, BUT WASTED ON PROGRAMS FOR PREPAREDNESS IN NATURAL AND MAN-MADE EMERGENCIES. LOTS OF ADVICE IS DISHED OUT ON PAPER AND BY MOUTH TO CITIZENS WHO ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE LOST THEIR COMMON SENSE. OR HAVE THEY?

WHEN ‘FREE MONEY’ - AGAIN - WAS OFFERED TO FAMILY HEALTH CARE PHYSICIANS TO ACCEPT MEDICAID PATIENTS, THEY DIDN'T SAY "KEEP IT." THEY GAMED THE PROGRAM UNTIL IT WAS RESCINDED. WHO CAN BLAME THEM? HOWEVER, AN ASSUMPTION WAS MADE ON THE PART OF THE POLITICAL ELITE THAT EVEN DOCTORS WOULD ABANDON COMMON SENSE AND KEEP SERVING SUCH CLIENTS WHEN THE "ENHANCED REIMBURSEMENTS WERE REMOVED.

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO "FREE MONIES" STOLEN FROM THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS PHRASED AS "ENHANCED REIMBURSEMENTS," WHO WOULDN’T KEEP IT? WHO WITH COMMON SENSE WOULDN'T TRY TO BEAT THE NONSENSICAL FREE LUNCH SYSTEMS PUT INTO PLAY BY AN INTERFERING GOVERNMENT? THE TUNE OF BEAT IT, BEAT IT, BEAT IT CONTENDS WITH THE ALTERNATIVE ONE, KEEP IT, KEEP IT, KEEP IT AS OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.
