No way to help every person equally"The People" is all of us, not some of us.
Oh you will. LolI've never relied on any social programs, I pay my own way.
So can you name any jurist in America that agrees with you?
Come on dude
We've already been over this and you failed miserably until fleeing the thread. You really don't want to start it again here.That is factually incorrect and no jurist in America believes you
So why do you support welfare?Helping individuals does help the general population

There is no ruling by the US Supreme Court that upholds any social spending program based solely on the Preamble. NOT ONE. There could be progressive activist judges in lower courts that ruled otherwise but ultimately were overruled.
Yeah you got your ass kicked there and ran like a girlWe've already been over this and you failed miserably until fleeing the thread. You really don't want to start it again here.

My how very adult of you. Again.Run away again honey. Lol
And those would be among the things they listed under the spending clause.One thing they didn't mean was "individual welfare". Hence the wording.
General welfare, imho, is composed of things that facilitate a smoother running union, like a national postal service, a military, and a unified court system.
You bring shit you get shitMy how very adult of you. Again.
Factually incorrectAnd those would be among the things they listed under the spending clause.
Social welfare programs are not.
That has been attempted and failed as shown above at the link.Agreed and statements of purpose are considered when adjudicating constitutional issues... Correct?
Then we're back to you not being able to show them listed.Factually incorrect
