Madison:
With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.
This applies to ANY clause in the Constitution that the left uses to justify government expansion.
“General Welfare”, “Necessary and Proper”, “Interstate Commerce”, etc.
I'm on SS. Every month they take out $100 for Part B and I also buy a supplement. So much for the joys of Medicare....and all the years I paid into it BEFORE I semi retired.
Pssst....Part B was $3.00 a month when it started..a typical hour's pay.
