The words "general welfare" are only relevant in that they describe the purpose for given Congress the power to pass laws restricted to the enumerations in Article I, Section 8.

Yes, and I think it also says something about providing for the common defense. I'll leave it to you to provide the cite.

We now have the most powerful military ever known. Please tell me after outsourcing all the jobs we can, importing guest workers for the jobs we cannot and eliminating the source of corporate and personal income taxes as a source of revenue, how we still will be able to support a military to defend our country?

Oh! I lost my head for a moment there. Of course. The U.N. will protect us all.

Like the late ancient Rome did - by hiring the foreigners and extracting the tribute.
