TW: Have started to queue up more articles than I can reasonably post with commentary so I am going to start providing some links with brief descriptors of those articles I find interesting and worth a read, should you be so inclined.
1) Robert Samuelson in Newsweek on health care and the need to avoid pipedreams

2) A New Yorker article on Crawford, TX W. Bush's temporary Potemkin ranch locale

3) A Fortune article on HENRYs (high earners not yet rich), who would be taxed more heavily with Obama. I have never heard so much whining in my life and either the numbers they discuss are wrong or some folks really need to get some financial advice.

4) From Int'l Herald Tribune Bob Rubin and Jared Bernstein (since named as Biden's chief econ advisor) discuss reconciling stimulus spending with fiscal discipline

5) From Financial Times, the author of Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness, Nassim Taleb and a colleague lament the crime perpetrated by rapacious investment bankers and their risk management accomplices upon the rest of us.
