willing to actually post the *specific* meaning that you ascribe to the phrase "general welfare"?

I have not asserted an inerpretation of its meaning, you have(albeit by insinuation). I have refuted your implication by pointing out that the meaning of the words you quoted is not as you imply.

"General welfare of the United States" does not equal making sure Jane Doe gets a check every month. In fact, it does not even say "general welfare of the People of the United States."

Just the welfare(meaning well-being) of the nation, not "welfare" as recently redefined to mean money for poor people. The word didn't even have that meaning when the document was composed.

If you want a hint, both this and the interstate commerce clause are more appropriately applicable to things like interstate highways and maybe meteorological sevices, things like that. Things which contribute to the general welfare of the nation.

There is no "general welfare clause" in the Constitution. That is something the leftists use to support
their socialistic agenda.

"Just the welfare(meaning well-being) of the nation, not "welfare" as recently redefined to mean money for poor people. The word didn't even have that meaning when the document was composed."

You seem to be getting pretty wordy, but no, you still haven't described the *precise* definition/power that you personally ascribe to the legal, written, codified "general welfare" clause in our Constitution.

Perhaps in your own mind you've never yet given that clause any meaning, one wonders (in which case, you would sadly be illegally interpreting our Constitution contrary to its design)...

But, I'm willing to give you one more chance to try to *specifiy* the precise definition that you give that clause, at least, if you aren't going to get all wordy and dodgy on me.

I'll be waiting...
