Funny how we survived & read that very same constitution with those very same words for ~200 years without ANY welfare state. Hmmmmm. Socialism was invented *after* our constitution was written. Unless you think the founding fathers were time travelers.

200 years? Nonsense. The U.S. has given out soldiers' pensions since at least 1865, and possibly even prior to that date.
