THE US CONSTITUTION
It turns out that the Supreme Court and I disagree on what it means to provide for the "general Welfare" of the citizens of the United States of America. I believed that, in this case, the authors of the Constitution intended the use of the word to mean our general "good health, fortune, prosperity and well-being." I guess the majority (5-4) of the Supreme Court Justices grew up believing the definition of the word to be "a governmental agency that provides fund and aid to people in need."
Brilliant.
The medical insurance/pharmaceutical industries have been lining their pockets with the very lucrative consequences of fear for years. Thanks to our government, none of them has to worry about one thing that is common to the general public -- the possibility of unemployment.
