AntiKrist....

It says "provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States" - not provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States CITIZENS.

Remember, the United States is two distinct words - UNITED - and STATES - aka a government that is to defend the STATES themselves, in aggregate, from any external aggressor. The system as defined in the constitution is about a federal government that is tasked to maintain the soveriegnty of each state, and resolve issues between them.

Not babysit every person in the nation. If your arguement were accurate, then its the government's job to provide me with a home, a car, all the food I need, my electricity and other untilities, as well as health care.
