The Constitution’s “welfare clause” is frequently used to claim the federal government can lawfully fund 80+ social welfare programs. This claim requires ignoring the Constitution’s limits on the funding powers of Congress. Keith explains why the claim is both false and absurd, why every federal welfare program is unconstitutional, and why nearly $1T/year in unlawful federal spending would be eliminated if Congress abided by the contractual legal requirements they have sworn to uphold.
