FYI to all, the General Welfare clause in the preamble to the Constitution is meaningless - that's right I said it, meaningless. James Madison was asked about it directly some years after the Constitution was adopted and he said as much.
In addition, the body of the Constitution lays out specifically the limited powers of the government; it is a total contradiction to impute any meaning the General Welfare clause because if one did, it would become an unlimited powers of the government. Simple logic.
