I agree but current jurisprudence has interpreted the General Welfare Clause, the Commerce Clause and the 14th Amendment to cover virtually any activity or condition in existence. For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency and its enabling act are permitted under the General Welfare Clause.

They interpreted incorrectly. The are indications that the current USSC will overturn a lot of those ruling, beginning with the Commerce Clause which seems to have no bounds today. The conservative justices understand that the word ‘regulate’ at the time of the constitution’s writing meant ‘to make regular’. That’s backed up by limited powers granted to Congress by the constitution. They include simple things like standardizing weights and measures.
