I’ve been paid by the Federal Government, private contractors, corporations and individuals in the healthcare industry. They’re all hated in some respects.

So you’re just an ignorant ass-clown whose opinion is virtually meaningless?

Tens of millions are very happy with their healthcare in the USA. The CAHPS commercial, Adult Medicaid, and various 65+ Medicare surveys confirms this annually. Other industry surveys support these results. National averages of respondents who rate their health plan and health care as an 8, 9 or 10 on a 10 point scale

It’s pretty simple. Pre-ACA the uninsured in the country hovered around 85% -

US system works well for 85% of people. 10% voluntarily sit out. 

...the unregistered ones would be the ones getting confiscated... 

But it’s not about revenue, value, or worth INSIDE the governing body. The men are paid more simply because their value outside the organization.

...free ads against the opposition?

Why 112 MPH is my question.

I care nothing of the results. I’m only frustrated but with the students and politicians who continue to use the flawed survey I like to tout universal support for the GND. That survey is complete junk for the current proposal considering the proposal did not exist when the poll was commissioned.

Liberal ideology and plans are super popular. Liberals... not so much.

There’s serious issues with using that poll as evidence of support of a green new deal, the first of which was that it was conducted months before this session of Congress. People “supporting” the NGD at the time had no idea was the proposal would be since it wouldn’t be released until much later. This is clearly

Wow, hung up on that pedantry so much it is hilarious.

Context, as always is important. You’re taking a 2019 view of the phrase “general welfare” and applying it to a single 2 words without looking at where the statement is made in the Constitution. Basically you’re incorrect on all accounts.

Sad I even have to explain that.

General Welfare shows up twice in the Constitution: in the Preamble and in the Taxing and Spending Clause. The preamble doesn’t apply here since it grants no rights/powers. So Section 8.1 reads:

Education is provided at the state, not federal level. The federal government provides funding and guidance. 

The preamble states the purpose of the Constitution. It has been helpful to determine intent but does not grant rights to the people or powers to the government.

The preamble also refers to securing “the blessings of liberty” which can be interpreted as freedom. Interestingly enough the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th would be required to prohibit US citizens from owning other humans and establish equal rights for all people regardless of race or sex.
