It is not a right. It is a reason the government was formed. It is not a grant of any kind of power to that government, but a directive to guide how powers will be given to it are to be used. Powers given to Congress are specified in Article 1, Section 8, as amended. Powers given to the President are specified in Article 2, as amended. Powers given to the courts are specified in Article 3, as amended.

The federal government has NO OTHER POWERS other than what is given through the amendment process. The States own the Constitution of the United States. They are the ONLY ones that can amend it. No court has power over the constitution. Only the States do.

The 'general welfare' clause is not a power granted to the federal government. If it were, why have a constitution in the first place?

The lie that the 'general welfare' clause is a power enumerated to the federal government comes from the liberals, for they want to overthrow that constitution and implement fascism by oligarchy instead.

THAT is the important word. It does not guarantee the welfare of anyone. It does not guarantee that the welfare will be that great. It only guarantee that it will promote it.

Its like how it says "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Some people claim that since something will make them happy, such as smoking, they have to be able to do it. It only guarantee that you can pursue smoking if that makes you happy. You can pursue taking drugs if it makes you happy, but only as long as you do not break the laws concerning them. That is why things with LSD got so bad when it did. There were no laws against it then, so it was completely legal. In the US, if there are no laws against it, you can do it. In other countries, it sometimes is illegal if you do not have laws permitting it.

There was a time in the US people could wear see through clothing because there was no laws against it. The laws only said you had to be dressed. A see through dress was clothing, so it was allowed. In other countries people were arrested because the laws did not specifically allow it.

In the US we promote general welfare but that does not make any promised other than we will promote it.

Yes, health care in England is cheaper, but you can die waiting to be seen by a doctor, or you can pay 2 times what the US pays and see a doctor before the illness kills you.

Have you ever noticed that almost all the advance in medicine comes from the US? Almost all the new pills, almost all the new procedures. That is why our medicine is more expensive. Then after we pay for it, other countries get it for free.

Illegal immigrants... I don't don't know about other states, but last week, Florida got notice, that Trump is shipping 1000 per month, indefinitely, to Palm Beach, and Broward counties. Apparently, just dumping them off. Not sure what he figures we are going to do with them, and no mention of some financial assistance either. Florida voted Trump, why punish us? Should have just ask the detainees which city they were heading for, and if was a sanctuary city, put them on bus. Florida gets illegal immigrants by the boatload, not to mention a good portion of those sneaking over the unprotected southern border head on over here. Homeless people migrate down here for the winter, quite a few stay. Palm Beach, isn't that the home of Trump World? Maybe he has a staffing problem...

I'm not from England. I'm from Dayton, Ohio, Home of the Wright Bros. This is where I lived in Norway https://images.app.goo.gl/ycuzsfsNhjTbM76k8.
If I survive what doctors have put me through, Australia will be an option.
What's funny is that white Americans tell me because of my service connected hearing loss or being 1/2 Norwegian that I'm not as good as a migrant worker.
It's about people being made to feel good for no reason. I've taken the time to learn. My hearing loss gave me time for it so I used it well. I might know things that could create jobs. But first have to finish my historical project and then see if doctors in another country will perform a surgical procedure that doctors here in America refuse to perform.
With me, I was living in Norway when I started learning to talk. Had no say about coming back to the US.
You'll love this. When you say that people take their chances when going to the doctors, this happened in 2009 when I had surgery for cancer.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/GZaBdKtnEB4vScWeA
I've had 3 or 4 surgeries where doctors could've just removed my colon and said I had cancer. that would justify it but they said that I can't abort my colon.
I'm not a woman and it's not my body. On the other hand, I receive $1575 a month for not working. 1 $2,000 surgery (I've checked my medical records and know what the procedures cost) and I could've kept my job.
But only a doctor can say if something is wrong. Basically, my original surgeon was allowed to drop me as a patient when I had problems. He told me he didn't cause them so not his problem to fix. That was in 2010. And the image any more isn't the worst part but am working through it. And if my project works, I think I'll be able to have surgery in either Germany or Australia. Trump said Australia's health care is better than ours. I'd be an opportunity for them to show that President Trump is right.

I'm fairly certain you'll find the same reluctance to getting your colon removed, most any where you go, unless the surgeon is less than reputable. It seems like a last resort sort of procedure, an option not taken lightly. You don't seem too interested in listening to your doctors, or following their instructions, making it a high risk procedure. The surgery might be $2,000, but you have to stay in the hospital a few weeks. It also involves the services of several other specialist, drugs, after care.

You talk about England all the time, as if you live there, or spent much of your life there. Kin of a surprise, you stating other wise. Sort of raising a lot of question marks on everything you've posted here. Main reason why I never got interested in social media.

Americans hate Scandinavian countries. Since England is well liked by Americans, it provides a different perspective. After all, as you've shown, anyone who doesn't agree with President Trump is wrong. England takes American politics out of many issues. They also have better health care than the US at only 60% of the cost per capita. It's health care is ranked #18 globally while the US is ranked #37. Don't you want to get your money's worth?
Believe anything you want Harvey. This is why I've been working on my project. People don't want to believe that doctors will abuse patients.

It's not a high risk procedure. A Judge Goodwine here in Lexington, Ky. had hers removed. It is and has been putting me at risk by not having it just as she was at risk before she had hers removed. If mine were removed then there's a goodchance (a play on Judge Goodwine's name) that I could be active like her. She was a Circuit Court Judge but vacated that position because she was elected to a higher court. I have talked to people around her and am aware of what she went through.

This country is run by the middle class because that is the majority of voters. They say who does what, where and when. If you don't like it you can always move to Iran under the kind of system you think is superior.

And when it denies American citizens health care, then it's not promoting the general welfare of the people.

pro·mote
/prəˈmōt/
verb
1.
further the progress of (something, especially a cause, venture, or aim); support or actively encourage.

It's funny that you guys are defending a health care system that is the worst among industrialized countries that can be twice as expensive. England's (#18) is 60% of the US (#37) and after that about everyone else is under 50% per capita spending. And their health care is as good or better than the US'.
Might be why the US has more national debt than any country in the world. I doubt any other country has topped $20 Trillion. And that's only expected to get worse.

It could be argued that the Constitution was written so we wouldn't become another England. Why do you think we play NFL football and baseball instead of soccer (World Cup Futbol) and cricket?
Learn some history.

People in the US do play soccer and cricket.

True, but James is missing the free market point again. We mostly play what people will to pay to see. That seems to be car racing, football, baseball, basketball, and golf.

It isn't that we hate them for things like that. The thing you don't know about those countries is they often come to America for the newest treatments and medicine. Socialism doesn't reward research into new medicine and methods of treatment. Capitalism does.

I guess that's why the government allowed for no sales tax on internet purchases to give online businesses and advantage over brick and mortar stores for about the first 20 years of online retail. Or why the US has been basically running $Trillion deficits for over a decade and when Trump does it, it's Obama's fault.

That's why we have record low unemployment, increasing the national debt is creating jobs.

That's Free Market Enterprise. Just imagine, 6% of the GDP is increasing the national debt.

Yet during the 60's when we sent some people to the Moon, that's how much of the GDP a lunar landing cost Americans and yet the economy was growing.

I'll give ya'all a break. It was disappointing to suggest entering a contest which could benefit the US but all people had were reasons not to. I mean, why give a fück about America if you're not getting paid to care, right? That is Free Market capitalism.
