This is an exchange I've been having with Gene Lyons over the past several days. You'll have to read the e-mails from the bottom up. Dear Mr. Lyons, OK, sorry for calling you a liar. You're obviously a dimwit. They are (nota bene) UNMARKETABLE IOU's with NO cash value, NOT bonds! Potemkin paper, purely ceremonial in nature. They are WORTHLESS! The government has to "borrow" money from future revenues to "redeem" them! Look it up! Now that that's out of the way, I want to inform you that I won't bother you anymore. This will be my last correspondence with you. I find it very disturbing that you live to get hate mail. I don't know what trauma you suffered to turn you into such a desiccated husk of a man, but it shows in your writing, and it always has. Me, I live for my family, my grandkids, my job, friends, travel, good food and drink, God, and just this wonderful life in general. And with the Democratic party the object of more scorn and derision by the day, I can't imagine we're going to see any improvement in your condition. Liberalism is dying (thankfully) a rapid death, and it's going to really suck to be you for a very long time. So, I will hereby wish you a VERY long life, and bid you a fond farewell. I'll pray for you. F. D. --- On Mon, 7/25/11, gene lyons wrote: From: gene lyons Subject: Re: last week's column To: "Frank Duffy" Date: Monday, July 25, 2011, 7:47 AM No, they're bonds, you fool.

You've just admitted that those "bonds" are nothing more than unmarketable IOU's. Potemkin paper, no more or less. So, this proves that you were incorrect. Now, either you knew this, and deliberately lied, OR you truly didn't know that, and YOU'RE the dimwit. Neither is a good thing. Frank Duffy Rogers, AR p.s. It pains me deeply to find that you live to be corrected by a power plant machinist. That's just...well,...pathetic. Now, you can give me a snippy, immature reply, or you can tell me which it is: liar or dimwit...?

I mean, that's a Trust Fund with HOW many trillions in it? And, a couple years ago, you said in a column that fund wouldn't run out until WHEN? You really are losing it, Gene. As proof, your "hack Ann" reply was almost as lame as that Scrooge McDuck schtick. Just tryin' to save you from yourself...

That makes my eyes gush blood.

The trust fund consists of bonds that have to be redeemed, dimwit. That’s what default means.
