Medicare is a racket.

Social Security is a racket.

Socialism is a racket.

I don’t know much about Stefanik.

But these days a Harvard education is about as useful as staring at a wall for four years.

There is still no enumerated power for the program and it is unlawful.

Sounds to me like she is praising them while then saying we must reject any more like them.
