What if the general government of the Union could ensure that any promotion or provision of the general welfare by the several states could be ensured solvency?

California would be able to reduce the size of government by consolidating social services. The infrastructure already exists as state unemployment insurance departments.

This could also be viewed as complying with the letter of the law, if not the spirit in which it should have been intended.
WELFARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

PERIOD.

EXPLANATION POINT !

Providing for the general Welfare of the United States is a specifically enumerated general power delegated to the general government of the Union.

The power to fix the weights and measures of official poverty is also delegated to our federal government.

Simply ensuring the solvency of any state welfare schemes could ensure the full faith and credit of those public acts by the general government of the Union.

Better compliance with at-will employment doctrine and state at-will employment laws could provide a simpler mechanism for ensuring the efficacy of any such scheme.

Re: California Politics

I have noticed a trend with government expanding when Republicans get their hands on it.

Re: California Politics

A simpler method to distribute income is better compliance with at-will employment doctrine. Unemployment compensation is already an established bureaucracy and department.

Welfare, as we currently know it, could be phased out by attrition.

Re: California Politics

What do you think of the concept of public sector ownership of "means of production"? These types of public sector business ventures can improve our standard of living while generating revenue that can defray public sector costs.

I subscribe to the point of view that the general government of our Union is legally, morally, and ethically obligated to provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States. Does anyone want to discuss the perspective that states should be able to enact public policies of zero percent official poverty and feel a sense of entitlement to the full faith and credit of the United States; and, potential states' right.
