The Social Security Administration sent out an unsolicited email a few days ago, making far fetched claims about what ‘benefits’ the just-passed Big Ugly Tax & Kill bill would bring to Social Security beneficiaries. Most notably, the claim that El Dumpo has been crowing about repeatedly -- that it would eliminate taxes on those Social Security benefits.

It's a lie. Steve Benen had a great article about it the other day at MaddowBlog. But there are many others out there echoing similar sentiment. The email makes other claims too that are, at the very least, confusing.

To help clear up the confusion and debunk the lies and explain just how dire the situation is, Alex Lawson joins us today right at the top of the show. Alex is Executive Director of Social Security Works, and he knows how to cut through the bullshit and bring us the facts. That's exactly what we need right now.
