I stated my opinion, I don't want to hijack this thread.

I was talking to folks about this and the funny thing is a lot of people like myself were surprised with the connection of invasion of personal information and how it might affect our gun rights.

I was thinking so does Obama's plan of streamlining the medical system and having it all online. Did he maybe have this already in mind or is this just an interesting side effect of his plan? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I consider Medicare and any gov't program designed to help a specific group of people to be unconstitutional (which is most programs, I believe). When you target a particular class of people, by definition you are acting in opposition to the 'general' welfare; that is, that all people benefit.

FBI agents are called 'special agents' not because they are special but due to their not having 'general' powers; their powers are 'specific'.

To me, for Obamacare to be at least considered to be constitutional (albeit the 9th and 10th amendment arguments rule here), every citizen would be covered by the exact same policy, including all gov't employees.

Carry on

Promote does not mean provide.

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.

promote the general Welfare, Does not mean FUND, FINANCE, PAY FOR, GIVE AWAY, OR STEAL FROM PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE.

The founderspromoted the general Welfare, by putting strict limits on the governments ability to steal from us. Limits which have been broken. Government can promote the general Welfare, BY GETTING THE HELL OUT OF OUR BUSINESS, and allowing oxygen thieves to either work or starve to death. Nothing PROMOTES THE WELFARE of people better than being motivated too succeed, and uninhibited by bureaucracies that serve no purpose besides providing authority to imbeciles who would starve to death if forced to actually work for a living.

Leftists haveactually reversed evolution. I don't know if western civilization can survive much more. Look what they did to Russia...
