Oh, yeah . . . we’re just making this stuff up December 19th, 2006

Honestly, I'm pretty much looking for an off-ramp on this argument we've been having with people like Ramesh Ponnuru and Don Luskin about an ugly impending deal on Social Security.

At some point, you just have to accept that some people cannot be persuaded, and you move on to more useful pursuits.

However, I must point out that several people have essentially accused Peter Ferrara, Larry Hunter and me of just making this stuff up.

Here Luskin calls it a "fantasy" and a "fairy tale." Here he calls it "bilge." Here Luskin calls it a "lie." Ya gotta love this guy's self-restraint.

So, if we're just making it up, why is it on the front page of The Washington Times today? And IPI isn't even mentioned in the story?

We are NOT making this stuff up, folks.
