What did our founders really mean when they said “general welfare”?

[CowboyTed]

General, not specific.

public assistance is unconstitutional.

.

Bullshit...

The constitution allows for other laws to be made by congress...

People want public assistance, therefore they voted and got a government to deliver that...

Jesus, put down the bong dude….Youre not even making sense…

Bong? ... ¿Wasserpfeife? ... Hmm ... Are you trying to dig out the folding chair?

Bong? ... ¿Wasserpfeife? ... Hmm ... Are you trying to dig out the folding chair?

Don’t even know what that means….

 

[zaangalewa]

Don’t even know what that means….

Sure. That's my daily life here. Do you know for example that the Apache came once from Aachen? No? Same to me. But someone lost the "p". I fear Charlesmanne will not be amused.

My labor is not yours to pilfer at will.

Government is the provision of services.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Poor baby….

So, you’re not making as much as the CEO, for flipping that burger….loser.

I make more in a year than you in a lifetime, for a fact.

You are a member of society
You vote for those who set the tax rates

Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society

Yep, and I have no problem paying for the things spelled out in the constitution…We pay for far more than that.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You just mumble because you are humble.

 

[rightwinger]

To maintain the General Welfare of We the People

You are not the judge on that. You have an opinion that makes no sense, sure, so share that.

 

[j-mac]

Well, thanks. We should all strive to be humble men…

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

General welfare.

To maintain the General Welfare of We the People

As laid out in the enumerated powers.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

As laid out be Congress, signed by the President, and judged by SCOTUS.

So, no regard for the constitution…That’s why you progs are dangerous…

 

[rightwinger]

As laid out in the enumerated powers.

If you believe any expenditure is unwarranted if not specifically in the Constitution….why don’t you challenge it?

Because it has been challenged and your extreme position is not supported

That’s the problem…1. We no longer have a voice. 2. We don’t follow the constitution.
