the Preamble isn't binding. its an explanation/summation of what comes next. they spell out what they mean by general welfare in the actual text of the Constitution, just like they do Justice, defense, and liberty.

and no, it doesn't include economic and social welfare issues.

you have to remember the Constitution was a LIMIT on government powers, not an blank license for the Government to do whatever. there is a reason Amendment* 9, rights retained by the people, comes before States rights.

*I had wrongly said Article*

Exactly this. A preamble sets the tone and provides the context for the content which is to follow. Constitutionally speaking, the Preamble doesn't grant any powers itself, those are articulated within the document following the Preamble.

And "Welfare" didn't have anything to do with food stamps, Section 8 housing or Medicaid.

Ironic that this must be pointed out to someone who keeps track of those he considers to have "reading comprehension" issues.
His law school did not do a very good job.

Are you confusing luther with LawGator? Of all the insults that lg has endured here, that one is over the line and will require more than an apology.

Were you listening at the :30 mark?

"Nothing to do with Trump! Trump's programs aren't even in yet! And I got people on the left who are blaming Trump. How can you blame Trump when he wasn't President when these seeds were planted?"

It has to be embarrassing when your support link literally destroys your argument. Hope this never happens to you in court.

you proposed what you thought would be a political "gotcha". thinking the Rs wouldn't accept cuts to the military you have proposed accepting half the rate cuts for everything else. it was always someone else having to agree to more cuts, before you were willing to consider your own cuts.

if you actually cared about any of it, you wouldn't have started the heaviest with the item the Constitution calls for.

No gotcha to it. It's the perfect plan.
Do any of you feel as if the defense is not grotesquely bloated?

Who do you believe is actually more interested in reducing the size of government?
The right or the left?
Conservatives or liberals?

Avoid the copout, impossibility of an answer "they are EXACTLY the same".

There would be no reason to. These are guys with the same name that have been decorated with the MOH, Silver Star etc.

Yes, that’s true. I would not underestimate the petty vindictiveness of the Democrats with regards to a Trump action, though.

It was petty to change it back to Benning and to make it seem like you were highlighting the service of someone in WWI that no one knew about. I am happy for Fred Benning getting recognition, but his name was used as a pawn in the grand scheme of things. Gen Moore had the same Distinguished Service Cross as Benning.

Are you saying trump has a bigger god complex than musk?

I guess it's possible.

Maybe they will agree to polytheism.

Nothing wrong with renaming a base after Moore, rename Meade after him.
