No one sets the record straight on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid better than Alex Lawson.

"No doubt about it, they're coming for your Medicare and Social Security, something they've wanted to do since 1935". Republicans love to refer to these programs as "entitlements rather than what they really are "earned benefits".
