My opinion is that “general welfare” means government doing those things that individuals cannot do for themselvesIf you voted for Trump there’s a good chance you’re a lot like me with regard to why....I voted for him on two policies almost exclusively...First and foremost on how he would deal with illegal Mexicans and the border and second on how he would yank lowlifes off the Democrat induced welfare plantation.
Anyhoo, as we approach the point where welfare reform will be visited I ask for your opinions on EXACTLY what you think our founders meant when they used the phrase “GENERAL WELFARE” in the constitution?
Attention all Smartest Guys In The Room, and legal scholars:
Please spare us the case citations such as the U.S. vs Butler case and the like. I’m interested in YOUR opinions.
We all need aircraft carriers to protect us from bad nations
But it takes a collective effort to build and deploy them
General welfare has little to do with feeding poor people
It means that Congress should do what is best for the country. Feeding the poor is considered to be best for the country
