Where in the Constitution Does It Say “Provide for the General Welfare?”

Is there no one in the U.S. Senate who understands the issue is not health care, it’s who’s going to control our health care - government or you and I - We the People?

Will someone please explain to me where in the Constitution it says “provide for the general welfare?”

Where, in any of our Founders’ notes on the Constitution, does it say that the Federal government should mandate wage and price controls on the free market?

Where does it say that the Federal government should require all employers and all Americans to participate in this Federally mandated plan which will impose up to 25% tax increase?

Where does it say that the Federal government should tell insurance companies it must provide abortion services options? Where does it say that the Federal government must provide grants to set up comprehensive school-based clinics where health professionals will provide contraceptives and abortion counseling without parental consent?

Sunstein picked for sharing Obama's radical views?

Comments echo president's argument for 'redistributive change'

Cass Sunstein
JERUSALEM – Was President Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, chosen because he holds radical positions that mirror some of Obama's own personal views?

WND last week exposed Sunstein argued it is 'desirable' to redistribute America's wealth to poorer nations.

The comments seem eerily similar to a 2001 radio interview that surfaced on the Internet during last year's presidential campaign in which Obama is heard promoting 'major redistributive change.'

In the interview, Obama doubted whether redistribution of wealth could be brought about by the U.S. court system. He did not propose another mechanism for such radical change.

However, as WND reported, Sunstein, the new White House regulatory czar, proposed interpretation of federal laws be made not by judges but by the beliefs and commitments of the U.S. president and those around him.

During the presidential campaign, the blogosphere was abuzz with audio clips from a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview in which Obama made clear he favored redistribution of the country's wealth while lamenting the court may not be the appropriate mechanism to bring about such change."

Brzezinski suggests Obama shoot down Israeli jets

The national security adviser during the administration of President Jimmy Carter says the United States should shoot down Israeli jets if that nation chooses to take military action against a nuclear project in Iran.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, in an interview with the Daily Beast website, declared, 'We are not exactly impotent little babies.'

Israel long has been thought to be considering a military strike against operations in Iran that could result in a nuclear weapon for the regime of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Israel has stated that it is unwilling to have its future threatened by a leader who believes it should be wiped off the map, as Ahmadinejad has stated, with access to nuclear weapons."
