The "original intent" was never agreed on or defined. Jefferson drafted an amendment that would authorize the purchase of Louisiana retroactively. But Jefferson’s cabinet members argued against the need for an amendment, and Congress disregarded his draft. The Senate ratified the treaty in October of 1803.
The Louisiana Purchase exposed the limitations of the strict constructionist approach to spending power. Jefferson abandoning HIS beliefs was pragmatic and signaled a more pragmatic interpretation of the general welfare clause...the "Hamilton way" prevailed as it does today.
And it didn't stop Jefferson from calling for spending "be applied in time of peace to rivers, canals, roads, arts, manufactures, education, and other great objects within each State" in his second inaugural address.
Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?
So because of the Louisiana Purchase the politicians now have the authority to use US Treasury funds to feed you, clothe you, insured you, educate you, quench your thirst and engage in wars just so they can enrich war profiteers?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

You need to use bigger font asshole.
Social insurance is constitutional and is completely congruent with the intent of 'general welfare'
You need to use bigger font asshole.
Yeah, I know. That is a non-violent way to scream at parasites such as yourself.

Yeah, right. I wonder why it took the politicians 148 years to find out that the intent of the Founding Fathers was to create yet another socialist republic. Or did it take that long for US parasites to unite.
Hey pea brain, the 'welfare state' is a construct of wealthy capitalistic societies. The first 'welfare state' was Bismarck’s Prussia, which to the dismay of German Social Democrats had instituted compulsory health insurance in 1883. That created a sudden panic on the left. Karl Marx had died weeks before, so the socialist leader August Bebel consulted his friend Friedrich Engels, who insisted that socialists should vote against it, as they did. The first welfare state on earth was created against socialist opposition.
The forgotten truth about health provision is that socialism and state welfare are old enemies, and welfare overspending is a characteristic of advanced capitalist economies.
The Forgotten Churchill
The man who stared down Hitler also helped create the modern welfare state
Better start yelling at yourself you ignorant asshole.
"There is no reason why, in a society which has reached the general level of wealth ours has, (the certainty of a given minimum of sustenance) should not be guaranteed to all without endangering general freedom; that is: some minimum of food, shelter and clothing, sufficient to preserve health. Nor is there any reason why the state should not help to organize a comprehensive system of social insurance in providing for those common hazards of life against which few can make adequate provision."

Thus proving that the far left has no clue about the Constitution other than what their religious programming tells them..
