Right, it just says “provide for the common welfare”. By that extension, Air force is unconstitutional because it doesn’t say ‘Air Force’ in the constitution, only defense. Silly Founding Fathers, why didn’t they think of flying war machines?

I thought “common welfare” meant infrastructure, not necessarily medical care or unemployment insurance. There is a difference between “rights” and “entitlements”.

We as a society have decided that “entitlements” are worth the investment, IIRC, even tho it is not covered by the Constitution.
