"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."General welfare. That means that citizens, including children, eat. And it makes no difference either way as I am required to pay for things I don't like or use and so are you. It's part of your birthright, like freedom of speech and religion. That ain't free.It doesn't work that way. You pay for babies you don't want, I pay for bombs. So sorry. That's life, Snowflake.Unlike your black and white fantasy world I live in the real one where shit happens. To get what you want the state would have to be in charge of all genitals. Let's skip that part.
No, what I said is don't make me financially liable for what they chose to do. The State can just leave me the hell alone and let those who chose to have their spawn pay the bills for them.

Bombs are part of common defense, show me the constitutional mandate for me to subsidize other people kids. I can show you where Madison says it's not there.

General welfare is a spending category, not a stand alone power, if it were there would be no need to specify the items congress could spend on to provide for it. The same applies to common defense.
.
That would include not letting children starve.
