Exactly correct— the “General Welfare” has been stretched into TOTAL Welfare delivered (doled out) to the undeserving and non-taxpaying non-productive elements of States signed to the “Compact”.
Jefferson was NO friend to a National Bank, conceived and executed by Alexander Hamilton, ironically shot in a duel by Burr who was pursued by President Jefferson for true insurrection against the Constitutional powers. Arrested him- trying to create his own country in... Mexico!
From the get go- Jefferson and Hamilton did not get along well (for that matter neither did John Adams and Hamilton over a different part of the banksters plots against the States).
This clip from Hbo’s “Adams” is a well written discussion of the “Bank” between Jefferson (newly returned from Amb. to France) and Hamilton- it is a saver- whom is beholden to whom?:

The greater the debt the greater the foreign credit!!!!! Yeah right.
And this later between Adams and Hamilton over foreign policy and.. armies!

In memory RIP of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams who both passed away... on July 4th,1826! Two giants who renewed their friendship over ripped asunder political evilry between them. Two FOUNDERS, and... geniuses.
Note that the first secession was threatened by New England states- which they have long ago neatly forgotten. The first real destructors of our Constitutional Republic. As the Progressives of New England have been since before Woodrow Wilson.
What they did not bring up in this clip is that the Southern states - being far wealthier - had paid off their debts. The Northern states had not. So nationalizing the debt effectively meant the Southern states would be subsidizing the Northern states. It started right from the very beginning. The Northern states were looking to squeeze money and power out of the Southern states from day one. This is what came to a head in 1860.
Why? Because the corrupt liberal party has learned how to bribe people to stay in power.
They use that power to get rich. Look at AOC for example.
The liberals make a lot of their money from controlling the government. The Biden family is a prime example.
Nobody cares about the people on welfare beyond their use as a tool to get into power and get rich.
As others have said in the past, if Illegal immigrants voted Republican, the Democrats would be on the border building the wall themselves.
It's all about political power, because that's how they get money.
