Are you a supporter of Wickard, and the LBJ view of the general Welfare Clause?

The 'Great Society' welfare programs, if that's what you're referring to, are one of the worst things ever to happen to this country outside of gun control.

I'm referring to LBJ's expansive view of the general Welfare Clause as a grant of power for Federal programs. Do you support such a view?

What about Wickard?

I would not lump expansive welfare in with illegal drugs, except for the fact that illegal drug use drives a lot of people to get on welfare.

Wickard, as related to the commerce clause? I'm for anything that's against illegal drugs.
