As Deficits Mount, Amendment to Require Balanced Budgets Fails in House
The balanced-budget amendment was seen as a symbolic gesture after the Republican Congress approved tax and spending legislation that will add to deficits.Congress must fix the taxes. It will require an over ride of a presidential veto.
The tax cut on the rich is a Republican promise.

The Paul Ryan Story: From Flimflam to Fascism
The same forces that elevated Ryan brought us to a constitutional crisis.
"And if you ask why Ryan never took a
stand against Trumpian corruption, why he never showed any concern about
Trump’s authoritarian tendencies, what ever made you think he would
take such a stand? Again, if you look at Ryan’s actions, not the
character he played to gullible audiences, he has never shown himself
willing to sacrifice anything he wants — not one dime — on behalf of his
professed principles. Why on earth would you expect him to stick his
neck out to defend the rule of law?
So
now Ryan is leaving. Good riddance. But hold the celebrations: If he
was no better than the rest of his party, he was also no worse. It’s
possible that his successor as speaker will show more backbone than he
has — but only if that successor is, well, a Democrat."

Boston Museum Closes Nicholas Nixon Photography Show Early
The Institute of Contemporary Art had initially decided to keep the exhibition open, despite accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior against Mr. Nixon.Sexuality, sensuality, spirituality and art have been a heady mix for several thousand years.
One generation will not untangle the mix.

Protestants of unknown morality and loyalty.
