I always have to laugh at your 1950s commie bullshit. What are you, 105 or so?

Congress has the authority, fucktard, to pass any law they wish. It then becomes the responsibility of the other two branches, bitch, to veto or not or to decide in the constitutionality of said law.

Commie? Get that Alzheimer's drug old man. It can only help.

States are disastrous for providing welfare programs. It's the same problem of monetary union without fiscal union that plagues europe. During any economic downturn the some states would be forced to drastically cut back on spending causing their economy to fall to pieces. All welfare programs should be provided at the same level of government that issues the money.

Welfare programs are an invention of the Party of Slavery and the Jackass to keep the sheeple in urban sewers dependent on Government led by dishonest politicians who know that by offering low information dullards free stuff on the backs of fellow Americans, they can stay elected.

You liberals really are dumber than a box of rocks.

Jefferson is dead and you're an illiterate moron. The General Welfare Clause and the "necessary and proper" clause gives Congress the authority to make laws they decide are in the best interests of the country. Those laws may or not meet your standard, but if you don't like that, asshole, you have the vote at your disposal. If those same laws don't meet the standards of the two other legs of the government, there are mechanisms to take care of that.

It's your claim, not mine, that the Constitution comes down to a single clause cretin. It gets wearisome to keep giving you the most basic of civics lessons. You were home-schooled, weren't you, fucktard?

Dear dunce:

The grant of power to “provide . . . for the general welfare” raises a two–fold question: How may Congress provide for “the general welfare” and what is “the general welfare” that it is authorized to promote? The first half of this question was answered by Thomas Jefferson in his opinion on the Bank as follows: “[T]he laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They [Congress] are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose.”531 The clause, in short, is not an independent grant of power, but a qualification of the taxing power. Although a broader view has been occasionally asserted,532 Congress has not acted upon it and the Court has had no occasion to adjudicate the point.

It is the highest point of stupidity to believe that a document that was written to create a LIMITED government with SPECIFIC and RESTRICTED powers would strip it all away with a single clause called 'general welfare'.

in other words, you're a fucking statist moron who can't think for themselves and wants nanny state government to provide you with shit you can't earn.

^Spot on; but don't expect leftist idiots like DUMBER to comprehend what is contained in the Constitution.

LibTards are only capable of parroting the Marxist garbage they are gullibly fed by the DNC.
 
why did the founders write the post office into the constitution asshole?



because they believed in the greater welfare


you are fucking dead wrong


its proven by why they wrote the post office in to it
 
then they collected up money from the people to build the Cumberland road



you russofucks just don't have that written into your program
 
The Postal Clause was added to the Constitution to facilitate interstate communication as well as to create a source of revenue for the early United States.[2][3] There were some early disagreements as to the boundaries of the Postal Power. John Jay, in a letter to George Washington, opined that the postal service should not be burdened with the responsibility for handling newspaper delivery, and also suggested that the Post Office be placed under the supervision of the executive branch (a suggestion which later led to the creation of the Post Office Department).[4] Thomas Jefferson feared that the postal service would become a source of patronage and a waste of money. Jefferson also expressed doubt at granting Congress the power to designate post roads, as he considered road building to be a state responsibility.[5]
 
the founders did it fool


then they made the constitution responsive to the people



they built the path and opened it fool

I've already covered the process for you a couple of times, fucktard. How many more times do you need to be schooled on the issue?

It is within their purview and their authority to decide what those issues are. Being the RW retard that you are, you probably wouldn't understand any of them. Tough shit, bitch. Your vote is your weapon. Your words of ignorance don't mean shit.

Public health is in the interest of the general welfare, cretin. Any fool can see that. Other than exceptional fools like you and the douchebag Robo.

Preventing disease outbreaks, increasing longevity and wellness of the public, mental health issues, infant health, clean water, clean air, food and drug protection, on and on. Taxes provide for those.

18. "To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Illiterate douchenozzles.

Here's where you and your fucking retard friend have trouble in your reading comprehension. You try to insert words that I never said. In other words, you are also an illiterate turd.

That article and section defines the power of Congress. And whether you fucking like it or not is irrelevant. The words "provide for the General Welfare" are there. In the same sentence as the "Common Defence". The same goes for the "necessary and proper" clause.

People can disagree what the General Welfare entails, dickhead, but the words and concept is there. Even if you have difficulty understanding them.

you idiot statists also have a hard time dealing with 'well regulated', believing it to be a reference that the framers never intended civilians to have arms, only a well regulated military, which makes you one of the stupidest fucks on the planet who won't read your history, so your interpretation of 'provide for the general welfare' is bullshit.
