Exactly. I’ve had a leftist tell me the Constitution says “provide the general welfare”

There's a huge hole in even that line of reasoning: you cannot provide for general welfare while causing harm to the people. (The high taxes, held out of people's paychecks does do harm; so does the incurrance of debt such that no child will ever be able to dream of living in a debt-free country.)

That’s all true but for this leftist creating an utopia is more important.
