Good thing we should be promoting and providing for the general welfare not the general warfare.
Good thing the "general welfare" is limited to the federal government's 18 enumerated powers!
What you say cannot be possible. Those are examples and qualifications of what was meant by the general welfare and common defense.
 
It exists now. I just told you what it was.
Fake words don't exist just because you speak them. If you want to be an effective member of the Chinese 50 Cent Army, you need to first master the native language of the nation you are attempting to spread propaganda in.
Not fake at all. It helps define the context. Only right wingers have nothing but Hoax.
 
What you say cannot be possible. Those are examples and qualifications of what was meant by the general welfare and common defense.

Examples and qualifications, nothing more.
 
I don't see "Take money from producers and hand it to loser deadbeats" anywhere on that list.
That is your story. Fantasy and Hoax is what you usually have. Our Founding Fathers expressed what they thought necessary and proper for Government.
Not my story. It's not on the list.

You lose again.
Providing for the general welfare is on the list, so who cares what You fantasize about right winger.
