Ha Ha. What article speaks to this subject? You define General Welfare quite broadly,, do you? How far down the line you gonna ride that little gem? My house heating system is not working. Can you get a govt agency to get themselves over here before nightfall to fix it?? Hahaha
Have you ever actually read the US Constitution?
It sure doesn't seem that way.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Preamble
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and
general Welfare of the United States;"
Article I, section 8
How "far down" that concept goes is up to the People and their democratically elected representatives.
