[lbo-talk] Marta Russell at MRZine.org: Tennessee Disabled Activists Occupy the Governor's Building

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

LBO-talk contributor Marta Russell's article "The Medicaid Kill- 
Off" (at <http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/russell150805.html>) has  
been up on the MRZine.org homepage since yesterday.  "[S]ignificantly  
disabled protesters in Tennessee have occupied the Republican  
governor's office at the Capitol for over three weeks to stop cuts to  
their state Medicaid program (known as Tenncare). Gov. Phil Bredesen  
has responded by saying: No Food or Water" (at <http:// 
mrzine.monthlyreview.org/russell150805.html>)!

I'd love to receive the sort of "Big Picture" article that you talk  
about.  Maybe Michael Perelman or Jim Devine will do it?  I'd also  
like to know if China faces the overinvestment problem (cf. <http:// 
news.google.com/news?q=china% 
20overinvestment&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wn>), too.
