Joe says it ain't so

Joe Lieberman writes an angry letter to the Times:

To the Editor:

Paul Krugman ("The $600 Billion Man," column, March 15 [link]) claims that when I say that every year we do nothing about Social Security's coming insolvency we add $600 billion in unfunded liabilities, I am "helping to spread a lie."

Nonsense. Experts we've consulted at the Social Security Administration have confirmed this estimate.

Yep. Just like I said.
