The sad thing is you believe this means free handouts. That’s because you are a commie. In general Americans live well so the general welfare has been promoted. It doesn’t mean every persons welfare regardless of their own decisions.
I can say that after hundreds of exchanges with StanPutz, he does not comprehend what the words "promote" nor"general" mean, and most certainly not within the context of the Constitution and what it means when talking about "welfare."
