Disabled People Are the Canaries in the Coal Mine
The disabled community has responded to the adversities they face by organizing for legal rights that protect their autonomy and access to public life. But these rights are increasingly under attack.
I will continue to post in digest form (multiple items) for a while—no luck on migrating the blog just yet. Soon, though. Here are this week's items:
(1) From Dean Baker (hat-tip to Mike Prokosch, who says, "CEPR outdoes itself here"):
Profits on Citigroup Stock: Can They Be the Basis for Financing Stimulus?
the rest (pdf)
(2) From Robert Reich, from a while back on his blog, but still salient (hat-tip to L.F.):
Break Up The Banks
the rest of the post.
(3) Mark Engler on free trade and quakes (starting with Bill Clinton's mea culpa, which we mentioned a couple of days ago); hat-tip to Mark E. ;) :
"Free" Trade Makes Earthquakes Worse
the rest of Mark's post
That's all I've got for now--may post something on the weekend.
