2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Anyone got the link to where he said the US should invade Iraq to secure oil supplies? Sounds unlikely to me.

Also, blaming him for the dotcom bubble et all seems a bit childish. Bubbles happen all the time, the tech one was in the making a long time. MarcusCicero 08:43, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Ah, but his policies exacerbated it. You know how every time a bubble happens the Fed races to keep it from popping? Greenspan completely failed to do that. There was also an entire book published blaming him for it. --Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 14:33, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
If you look at the second link cited in the article, it's there. TheRationalOne 15:26, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
Ah, OK. Can those ELs be worked in as footnotes to specific claims? So the reader knows where to look for what? humanUser talk:Human 22:09, 24 March 2008 (EDT)
