Your statement about the Constitution is preposterous, and you invoke it like the Bush administration has not done more to undermine that document than any administration in our lifetimes.
Fine.
Article 1, Section 8, "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
A lawyer you are not. Don't quit your day job.
Entitlements are not strictly forbidden by the Constitution, "the general welfare" is meant to be enterpreted, and Congress bills that get signed in to law, meaning that if there is a welfare law that passed by a congress and a president, then it is fucking Law, ergo not illegal.
I'm done. You need medication, and I clearly need to get out more.
