    You are all over the place and ignoring the relevant to this topic question I've asked over and over.


    The question I asked is what changes would you implement in your "ideal" governing system to make sure your "Healthcare " requirements and your version of ethical standards is easily implemented across society?

    Evidently your interpetion of the Welfare Clause is not moving things along.

    If you have a better definition, then why not share it?

    Liberalism is full of ideas so great that they are mandatory. Liberals are all about Free speech as long as you agree with them, they don't have any tolerance for any opinion but their own.

    They will shout you down and ostracize you and try to get you blacklisted from society and accuse you of "hate speech".

    Hate speech is any speech that liberals hate to hear.

    There's nothing tolerant, liberal, or progressive about today's so-called tolerant liberal progressive.

    You can't claim their pro constitutional rights when their agenda is constantly seeking to strip people of their second amendment rights.

    You certainly can't claim they're all about the first amendment because of reasons I outlined above.

    That list that you listed might have been true of liberals in the classical sense of liberalism but it bears zero resemblance to today's progressive liberal

    The word welfare does not mean this. There was no sense of welfare as we understand it today, back then.

    The wording is to care for the general welfare of the nation. It has nothing to do with doctor bills.

    Ok, so basically you don't know the meaning of the word. Got it.

    Where is that happening?

    Medicare Part C is paid for by the individuals who purchase it, not taxpayers.

    No one is making any of those claims and taxpayers are NOT paying for trans surgery.

    Evidently you are having a trouble with basic concepts even when presented in the most simplistic of terms so probably best if we stop wasting each other's time.

    Thank you for establishing that the far right doesn't actually understand anything at all about liberalism and how that has been the founding principle of our nation and continues to be to this day.

    We the People ARE the NATION!

    Therefore the WELFARE of We the People is the SAME as the welfare of the nation.

    Who else is the nation if NOT We the People?

    Can you cite any constitutional scholars who argue that food stamps are what the FF meant when they mentioned welfare of the nation? Any SCOTUS decisions would carry the most weight.

    If food stamps are issued to the hungry who are part of we the people then it seems absolutely in line with the aspiration of the Constitution.
    It doesn’t say ‘I the individual’, the document is socialist to it’s very core.

    You mean this one from a couple of years ago when the ShadyTramp tried to starve low-income workers during the pandemic?

    Life is very simple to some people.

    Everything they don't like = liberalism & woke.

    Everyone who disagrees with them on any issue = liberal.

    Nope!

    SNAP is a FEDERAL welfare program that is administered by the Executive Branch.

    In the end its very similar, although leftists claim otherwise. Its in the end a matter of totalitarism and how extreme this state is. I would prefer living in Chile under Pinochet over living in the SU under Stalin, but I would prefer living in Tito's Jogoslavia over living under Adolf Hitler's in his Third Reich. The alternatives arent good anyways. I would be opportunistic enough to survive or maybe even make a living worth the word "living" in these less evil alternatives, but it always means complete supression of the individual and living in the knowledge that terrible things are done to people less opportunistic than me.

    No, it is 100% accurate.

    Just look up the dictionary definition if you don't believe me.
