As for trillions spent on the war? I don't think it was multiple trillions. It certainly didn't cause the huge bank default in '08. The 7 trillion that 0bama glommed onto for Stimulus I, II and III and other domestic spending didn't go for war funding.
I don't even know what "evidence based medicine" means but I couldn't read past the poor analogies so maybe he explained that later in the article.
Can’t argue with you. I hope he reads these comments one day! As an FYI, I’ve “latched on” to his blog to post here because I’m pretty sure I won’t get zotted for duplicate posts :-). It’s not easy to find articles that aren’t immediately added here by the regulars! I’ve also been very interested in the topic of medicine as a money machine for years. FWIW, he does go on to explain EBM in the [long] article and lots of links to other explanations.
