Funny how when you look at the Constitution, it specifically says Congress has the power to raise/support armyies and provide/maintain a navy yet nothing about providing people something they refuse to provide themselves. For you to support social welfare handouts, you have to take something in the Constitution and twist yourself into a pretzel in order to believe it says what you WANT it to say.
Sounds to me as if your problem is with the amount being spent. Even the founding fathers supported defense/military spending. military spending.jpg
If you tell a bunch of freeloaders you'll give them something and require someone else to pay for it, what else to you think a freeloader would do?

Translation: CFM is correct that we have to take something and twist it into to what we want it to say
I have no problem if more is spent on the military and less is spent on the freeloaders that won't do for themselves. The Constitution agrees with me.
Maybe those that won't do even the most basic things for themselves will starve and we won't have to worry about them again.
I'm well aware that you have to twist yourself up in order to pretend it is what you claim it is.
You complain about spending on something for which there is delegated authority yet have no problem spending on things for which none exists. You can't argue from the standpoint of the Constitution says it, you have to argue from the standpoint of we want it to say those things.
The general welfare clause doesn't exist nor was it intended to exist so people that won't do for themselves should have something they didn't earn.
I care about what policies provide the best outcomes for the most people -- I don't care which party wants to take credit for it
What sycophants like you care about is only making sure people you don't like get hurt
You would rather waste a trillion dollars on defense spending for shit we will never need -- especially if you same idiots believe we now have world peace -- but you folks would rather waste money on that than to spend half of that to ensure no American is denied health coverage because of pre-existing conditions, loss of a job, accident, etc.
Here is the real truth about cucks like you and socialism -- you are all for it as long as you can insure "those others" don't benefit from it -- which makes you depraved miserable people
If you want to have a debate on the intent of the preamble -- feel free -- I still stand by the fact that one of the core responsibilities of our local, state and federal government is to promote the general welfare of the people
I am sure you don't object to police departments do you? since they derive their power from the federal and states' power to regulate behavior and enforce order within their territory for the betterment of the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of their inhabitants. -- that damn general welfare thing again...and health, who the hell snuck health in there..next people are going to be expecting government to do something about healthcare
