Here's a look at what you're reading today:
Twitter pal @reneerico shares an article about the employment picture in California. The SF Chronicle reports that the state's underemployment rate hit 21.9 percent in September. That's a whole lot of people who can't find as much work as they need.
Meantime, @kkemple is looking at the country's perception of stimulus spending. The Christian Science Monitor has a great graphic that shows how different community types (tractor country, emptying nests, boom towns, etc) feel about the government spending millions of dollars to get the economy moving again.
@philipkeeton is deep in tax land with an article from Tax Vox about whether fining people for not getting health insurance could be considered a tax on the middle class.
As for me, I'm digging into the archives over at the New York Times for articles about high Medicare costs in the 1970's. We'll have more on that on tomorrow's podcast.
