I knew a General Westmoreland once, never a General Welfare. Did the suck have one?

Actually the suck does have a "general welfare". It is called "navy relief" and I had the occasion to see it in action more than once.
A pfc and his wife and baby lost their home to a fire one night and after morning formation he went to navy relief and before noon he had a new apartment,furniture,clothes, food and $200 cash which was about two and a half months pay in 1962 for a pfc. The whole thing was a gift not a loan.
No red tape, no hassels, no drama, just general welfare at its very best.

You asked 3 questions not one.

You do not like the existing system.
Its NOT about ME
The system is unlawful
You have no idea how to fix the existing system.
Sure I do I already stated the same.
Would that be a fair characterization of your position?
NO

as if it was not obvious.

Please notice the two periods and the question mark.
In english that makes two statements and one question.
Your answer was not obvious to me thus my several request for a simple yes/no response.

No correction necessary since it was a phrased response to ron based on the "double entendre" with the word "general".
It is a pity that that nuance escaped you.

on the contrary you completely missed the point.

I gave you the benefit of a doubt since my only other option was to call bullshit on your 2 claimed statements and incorrect interpretation of what I stated and the quoted constitutions and other quotes I posted that clearly should have pointed that out the meaning and intent to you.

either way your titanic is doomed to sink

makes no difference to me

(neither did general escape me) obviously LOL

General Warfare was indeed promoted--gave him extra stars...

At the expense of General Welfare.

I agree. I've been really impressed with the changes in our education system, up and down the line. Better schools, better classroom procedures, better books, better standardsIn that area, at least, the future looks bright. Of course, with all the other problems they'll have, they'll need that education...

What country are you talking about?

This U.S. of A, mac. It's a checkerboard nightmare still as to benefiting from the improvements if you're livin' in the wrong color square, especially in mid-level education like what they used to call 'middle school', but they've been progressing for a while.
