There are two things one can be sure of when politicians denigrate government programs as âsocialist.â One is that they donât know anything about âsocialism.â The other is that they donât know anything about the programs theyâre trying to smear.
So here comes Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-ranking member of the House Republican leadership, with an especially absurd example of the genre.
Marking the birthdays of Medicare and Medicaid, which were enacted on July 30, 1965, she took to Twitter to celebrate âthe critical role these programs have played to protect the healthcare of millions of families.â Then she pivoted to add, âTo safeguard our future, we must reject Socialist healthcare schemes.â

SANDY CREEK â Margaret Yerdon-Grange developed her softball skills by pitching at a target outside of Pat McDougalâs Sandy Creek classroom, igniting a work ethic that has led to joining her former coach representing the Comets in the NYS Softball Hall of Fame.
Yerdon-Grange was inducted by the New York State Sportswriters and Coaches Organization for Girls Sports as a pitcher/infielder for its softball Hall of Fame Class of 2020, which was enshrined earlier this summer at the Mudville Softball Complex in Herkimer due to last yearâs COVID-19 postponement.
The 1997 Sandy Creek graduate, who recently finished her 12th season as head softball coach for Division III University of Rochester, was unable to attend the ceremony due to recruiting commitments but called it an honor to be selected.
