Libs, please point out the Article and Section number in the Constitution that charges the US Government?

Question

with the responsibility of providing health care to its citizens.

Chi, did George Bush unreasonably search your house and seize that crack you've been smoking? :)

Mr Morden.....The Founding Fathers said in the preamble that one reason for establishing the Constitution was to “promote the general welfare.” What they meant was that the Constitution and powers granted to the federal government were not to favor special interest groups or particular classes of people. There were to be no privileged individuals or groups in society. Neither minorities nor the majority was to be favored. Rather, the Constitution would promote the “general welfare” by ensuring a free society where free, self-responsible individuals - rich and poor, bankers and shopkeepers, employers and employees, farmers and blacksmiths - would enjoy “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” rights expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

Answer 1

Doesn't matter.

YOUR tax dollars
are going to pay for
MY medical bills anyway...

Answer 2

within the first few sentences...insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare.

Considering the fact, by all means, please verify it, that we are facing a situation of multiple-antibiotic resitant pathogens of multiple types, while millions have no health coverage, it only stands to reason that providing access to healthcare, is living upto the above. afterall, you realy can't have domestic tranquility while a few million people are infected with multi-drug resistant infections, that they continuously spread to people who have acces to healthcare.
Would you consider defending against a pandemic a national security thing or no??

Article 1 section 8
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States...

again provide for the common defense and general welfare.
should we consider a Pandemic as a threat to national defense...it threatens your life does it not??

also from article 1 section 8
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

If you don't think the government providing means of promoting health is an implied power of the constitution, than maybe we should disband the CDC, the health department, and water treatment facilities, and let people like you, clean the coliform bacteria out of your own drinking water. that is the "survival of the fittest" view held by your type, is it not? You know, if you can't figure it out on your own, we should just allow you to get sick and die, because to do anything else would be socialism.
Or maybe, you'll just have to go get a prescription for clean drinking water after you drink enough water that hasn't been properly cleaned. Think your current health insurance will pay for that??

You do understand what implied powers are, don't you???

Answer 3

Trick question.

It is in the preamble.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Answer 4

the government does all kinds of stuff, started by Republicans and Democrats, that's not covered in the constitution...

we would have a melt down if we just "got rid" of every program not in the Constitution...

the constitution gives the power to the congress to pass such bills, as they see fit...

that's where the constitution comes into play here...

Answer 5

Government is a negative force not a positive one. When property is taken from the owner and given to someone else without compensation than an act of plunder has occurred and the Government takes control of both parties.

Answer 6

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America"

How congress and the president do that is up to them. For example the constitution doesn't call for a standing army yet we have one in order to provide for the common defense.

Answer 7

Since you don't want anything that isn't in the constitution, I'll take your social security, medicaid, paved roads, war toys, ad infinitum, ok?

Answer 8

please point out where it says we should give corporate welfare to companies owned by billionaires? Or where a moron can attack an innocent country, steal it's oil and impose our way of live whether they like it or not, no matter if we like it or not! Can you imagine had they come here because they didn't like our government, attacked us took over stayed and destroyed EVERYTHING!Killed our children, mothers, fathers, grandparents
all because they didn't like the way WE ran things?? Yeah like we'd let that happen and you morons are surprised they shoot back!

Answer 9

It is not in the constitution. And the founders on this country would not want it there. The founders of this country supported capitalism, not socialism. Socialism didn't even exist when the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution was written.

Answer 10

It doesn't.

Please show the Article and Section number that allows the president to ignore the fourth amendment.

Answer 11

Not one. Just like their is nowhere in the Constitution that it says the government has to provide welfare programs.
