Ok, good, I have you looking at the section...Now, explain to me exactly what you think the founders in the late 1700s understood "general welfare" to mean?
"James Madison stated that the “general welfare” clause was not intended to give Congress an open hand “to exercise every power which may be alleged to be necessary for the common defense or general welfare.” If by the “general welfare,” the Founding Fathers had meant any and all social, economic, or educational programs Congress wanted to create, there would have been no reason to list specific powers of Congress such as establishing courts and maintaining the armed forces. Those powers would simply have been included in one all-encompassing phrase, to “promote the general welfare.”
general welfare
What you are arguing daniel is that the founders were somehow socialist in nature, and in documentation. That they wanted this unattainable socialist construct where you take from me, to give to others...That is profoundly false, and a demonstrable twisting of the intent, if not the actual words of the Constitution, and the Federalist papers...
