California set to issue IOUs
California's new fiscal year begins today, and the state Senate has failed to reach a revised budget agreement to keep from issuing IOUs for its bills. Facing a $24 billion deficit, lawmakers were unsuccessful in approving $3.3 billion in budget cuts that would have temporarily averted the use of IOUs. State controller John Chiang is set to begin using the IOUs on Thursday, which could damage the state's credit rating. However, lawmakers still can avoid giving out the IOUs if they reach a budget deal before Thursday. Larry Mantle gets an update on the developments. Post your thoughts here.

FDA wants to restrict Tylenol
Worried about damaging effects on the liver, an FDA advisory panel has recommended that the agency ban drugs such as Percoset and Vicodin that combine acetaminophen (generic for Tylenol) with another drug. Taken together, opiates and acetaminophen seem to cause excessive stress to the liver, especially when alcohol is consumed. Additionally, the panel has advised a lower maximum dosage for acetaminophen and that maximum strength dosages, currently available over the counter, should require a prescription. Will the FDA implement the panel's recommendations? What will restricted access to painkillers mean for consumers? Comment here.
