George, would you eliminate medicade too if you had your druthers?

Certainly... wouldn't you? Which article of the Constitution do you
think
it's based on? Do you still believe in Santa Claus?

Article I, Section. 8, Clause 1: "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..."

Provide for the general welfare. That's the one, George.

Maybe with your slant it looks like one. Congress isn't really providing
for general welfare... it's merely Juggling individual welfare from one
group of individuals to another. It doesn't have the Constitutional
authority to do so.
