What did our founders really mean when they said “general welfare”?

Baloney......that is the rhetoric of the left.........and their opinion.......your rights don't end where mine begin..

A very large segment of this country don't agree with you...........you haven't noticed.........now for immigrants wanting Free shit coming in.........they agree with you..........

Our large Federal Gov't is taking this country down..............because it has made promises it can't keep....and we have corrupt politicians running the show.
I agree

The RW does not believe we have the best government in the world. They want to tear it down.

Our large Federal Government turned us into an economic and military Superpower

States bickering among themselves never could have done it
The people of this country did that..............You didn't build this sound familiar...........and enumerated powers are to have a military.

We the People did that.
Our Government built the infrastructure, the educational system, the monetary system, the legal system that made us great

Individual states could not have accomplished what a strong Federal Government did
Each have their own purposes, budgets and accomplishments............States build roads, bridges and dams too.........Interstate is the area of Feds......as it connects states...........The People of this country ARE THE STATES...........which make up the Fed.............They are still WE THE PEOPLE......which is your major malfunction on We the People.

The Gov't is too big...........too corrupt.........and is taking us down..........which is exactly why the founders enumerated their powers......bastardized by FDR to the point we are today.
What would have happened if FDR had your point of view?

The dust belt states would have blown away and never would have recovered
The Tennessee Valley would have been populated by back woods hillbillies
Electrification of poorer states never would have happened. It was not profitable
Thousands and thousands of parks and public works projects would be vacant
Baloney...............The people would have done it on their own ...........FDR didn't get us out of the Depression............WWII and the economic boom did...............The boom was because the world was rebuilding ............

The Government is just the right size

As determined by We the People

You lost
No........our country lost.............you know what's coming..........even if you deny it.

The People didn’t do it on their own. They lived in shithole states
They would have never developed without Federal aid. There was no profit in it
Tennessee Valley and all its power never would have happened without FDR
The Dustbowl states would have blown away and never come back. The banks turned their backs and the states had no money

Want to talk WWII?
FDR turned socialist and took over ALL wartime production, critical supplies and manpower
If left to the states it would have been 48 states acting in their own interests
 
The Democrats take our money to feed the poor. They are pretty straightforward about it.

The Republicans are far sneakier. They interfere in the markets to make things costlier, and raise your tax rates in order to take your money and give it to rich people.

The Rube Herd is too clueless and innumerate to understand how the Republican method of robbery works.

They dont feed jack. They keep them in perpetual poverty. Its beyond vile.
lol. the left is for a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed.
even if they dont want to work?....
Capitalism works. Some people don't mind being poor.
you did not answer my question....you would pay someone unemployment even if they did not want to work?...

employment is at the will of either party; not just the employer.

It would all be Appalachia without FDR

Big Government saved our rural areas

They provided electrification to remote areas, roads and bridges, schools, hospitals, incentivized manufacturing, provided farm subsidies

If left to their own devices and what was profitable, these areas would be destitute
 
General, not specific.

public assistance is unconstitutional.

.
means tested welfare cannot be unconstitutional in our First World economy whenever merely solving for a poverty money, may not be enough.

Only, back then, we were not "first world" economy. Not even close.
that was then, this is now.

It's still the same Constitution that brought us where we are now.

Isn’t it fundamental for any true “Red, White and Blue American” to respect and support U.S. sovereignty, law and order?

so what; the right wing was wrong then, just as it is now.

the power to provide for the general welfare is general.

Congress should be informed, they are to promote the general welfare at every opportunity.
