Swap plan to shift Medicaid and welfare costs to states
Administration estimates the reform would lift a $19.1 billion burden from states by taking over Medicaid in exchange for $16.5 billion absorbed by states from the two programs. Federal contribution would total $47.1 billion in year one, rising to about $50 billion annually over eight years. The windfall tax would end by 1991, with excise taxes phased out, leaving only a 2 cent per gallon gas tax. States could replace funds with their own levies or cut programs if federal money disappears. Officials warn it will take months to implement and require dismantling much of the federal machinery.

Impotence in Marriage Debated by Clergy and Couple
Episcopal Diocese of Central New York supports marriages where impotence is known and not a barrier. Bishop's deputy Charles Grover notes older couples may wed without sex, while canon history shows undisclosed impotence could void a marriage but rarely prevented one. The couple’s declaration emphasizes mutual fellowship, procreation, and societal good.
