I give you....the TRUTH
This is comical. Everyone has a different opinion of what "general welfare" means, yet the majority of people, to include politicians, would have us believe they are occupying a pew at the local church on Sunday. I wonder how the Republicans who are against welfare justify their actions to their faith.
Most will sit and try to figure out what the constitution means by "General Welfare" yet give less than two shits what their bible says about general welfare.
Don't you believe in "separation of church and state"? Are you confused?
The "general welfare" clause has nothign to do with the needs of individuals. Welfare or "relief" is not what the "welfare clause: is about.
I didn't think it needed an explanation but for you I'll try. You are supposed to live your faith not simply sit in church on Sunday. If you live your faith when it comes down to helping others it should be a no brainer. Thus when it comes to the General Welfare clause if you live your faith like the bible teaches, than interpetting the General Welfare clause is easy.
