I think it would be a lot better if we change the word "welfare" to "transitional living fund".

What about those who don't make the "transition", or whose only "transition" is from Welfare to Dead?

I was watching Fox News this morning and one host or talking head said "100 million Americans are not working".
And it stunned me to hear that,  because that's close to 1/3 of the whole population.  And that 1/3 would include children and old people.   So if you take them out it means half the working age population isn't working.
Can that actually be true?

As does one of your heroines of the far left Progressives.  Why didn't you just post the facts?

Your whack job Sheila Jackson (D) once asked NASA, while on tour, if our rover, on MARS, would be able to drive by and photograph the flag left "THERE" by our astronauts.

Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee Wants Change: Don’t Think of It as ‘Welfare,’ Think of It as a ‘Transitional Living Fund’

Jan. 8, 2014 1:23pm Becket Adams
   
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) wants to change the way Americans think of welfare.
And to that end, she suggest during a House speech Wednesday, we should start thinking of welfare as a “transitional living fund.”
“Maybe the word welfare should be changed to something of a transitional living fund,” she said in a speech that praised the so-called “war on poverty” and government welfare programs. “For that is what it is — for people to be able to live.”
“(T)he safety net has to be something for all of us,” she added.

This is something Progressives excel at better than anyone in the world.

Socialism became left which became left wing which became Liberal which has become Progressive.

Whenever the real meaning of their terminology catches up with them, they change the name in the hopes the new term will be swallowed more easily.

It's not the word itself but the perception of its meaning that has Markle's head in a tizzy. He remembers Ronald Reagan's "welfare queen". Divide & conquer, right, Markle, you old Nazi?

General welfare doesn't mean a handout to some.

Like my hero of far left progressivisim,  Al Gore who invented the internets, my heroine of far left progressivism is a very smart lady who woulda never thought we had a flag on Mars.  Obviously Sean Hannity made that up about her and covered up the fact that it was actually Bush who said it.

No, but it is inclusive of the same under that general umbrella. I think there are abuses in any program, but overwhelmingly those who comment on the same are so removed from the conditions which necessitate welfare that they simply look at the exception and try to generalize the same as the rule. Corporate welfare or individual welfare have as a common denominator the belief that this country's general welfare will be better. Both should be reduced, but in the end it is a moral choice.

What the writer of the Preamble said is that we established the Constitution to (among other things) promote the general welfare of the people.  It didn’t say or mean a handout to everyone.  That promise came later in an advertisement during the Hoover campaign: “…a chicken in every pot.”

In that preamble it's also placing these qualifications on the states. The other mention of that term is closer to what flatex wants... but is part of the limits and enumerations that restrict the federal powers and is generally a rational/reason to tax.

Sorry, not buying it.  The Preamble is stating that the new Constitution is now the law of the land, replacing the Articles of Confederation.  The Preamble refers, on a federal level - not state level,  to the rights and responsibilities of the People.

My general welfare means I need to have sex at least once a day or I go a little nuts...

Is the government going to insure that happens also or do you want to volunteer your services darlin'?

It is we the people establishing a union (federal level) to promote these things for the states... then goes on to enumerate those established federal powers. A state always could redistribute and form social entitlements. The way you are interpreting that preamble would give the federal govt carte blanche reach and the rest of the document would be moot. General means common and welfare means benefit... not taking from one to give to another.

But!... But!... I'm kinda likin' the idea of the government having brothels and demanding some workin' gals and guys to... administer to the mental and social health of poor males and females in need of some lovin'.

Perhaps the government can do like Muslim' countries do and have those gals and guys in prison work their crimes off... Say one day off their sentence for every ten guys or gals they service.

The government could legalize prostitution and make it so the workin' gals and guys have to take one government Freebe' Stamp, which can be redeemed at the local court house for say twenty bucks, for every five to ten guys or gals they service.

Yes, blue balls is dangerous. And sex is a human need/right.

The benefits of sex are immense to ones health.

People who have sex live longer and fuller healthier lives.
