Please see the on-going debate on the George Bush Big Government Adventure thread. There's no need to repeat this argument on multiple threads.

Until then, why don't you post what power you think that promoting the "general welfare" gives to the federal government, if any (which would prove my point in and of itself)...

[Doctor Doom]

The general welfare is promoted when government sticks to its proper role of protecting individual rights, and nothing more.

There's no need to repeat this argument on multiple threads.

Then why did you bring it up on this thread? You could have provided a link instead of making me search for the thread...

But it is easier to make assertions and send others on a chase or the proof than to directly substantiate your assertinos, isn't it?

[Eagle Eye]

How about you provide a link or set of replies? Asking me to wade through a thread of 600+ replies for an answer you could provide is unreasonable and evasive.

You mean this thread? I did a word search on all the pages for "general welfare", and found nothing. So then I did a search on "southack" and looked at very post he made. Still, nothing about general welfare. If you had a different thread in mind, or if I missed it, please clarify.
