...and then started calling for programs that are not constitutional
I really wish our political officials would realize that the federal government has constitutionally mandated limits. If our government existed within those limits we would all have a lot more money.

Local government can more easily monitor the situation to determine when someone goes from needing assistance to taking advantage of the system and stop the flow of money.

The whole idea of having a federal government is so that wealthy states can help poor states!

That is the preamble. After that it establishes the exact role the federal government is supposed to play in our society. No where does it say redistribute income from one state to another.

Bart: What the hell is this?
Lisa: It's one of those campy 70's throwbacks that appeals to Generation-X'ers.
Bart: We need another Vietnam to thin out their ranks a little.

So what that it is the preamble? It clearly marks out what the founding fathers intention was in establishing the constitution.

Are you guys done talking about the preamble yet? I wanna talk about conjunctions. Or kings. Or - hey! Bills!

If the preamble is the only part that should be paid attention to, then why was the rest written?

I started reading The Federalist Papers recently. I haven't made it very far because it is so dry, but from what I have read so far it seems that we have veered way off track of what the federal government was intended to do. It seems that the primary purpose was to protect us from foreign threats. Like I said I am still reading.
