Yeah, perhaps that's what Galt was getting at when he mentioned wording. You'd have to be reverse engineering every expansion of federal power and putting in more specific grants and limits on that power. God only knows how difficult that would be. Sadly it'll never happen. The country deserves a debate on this topic but we will never really get it unfortunately.
And hot garbage like that spewed in the OP just sets it back I think. But I dunno maybe not. It's hard to ignite a debate with nuanced positions.

social security's "constitutional" foundation rests on the absurdity that the status of being employed by an employer is a privilege subject to excise tax and that "general welfare" is inverted in meaning and actually refers to discrete individuals who require aid instead of the whole (the difference between defending the nation from an attack and a welfare check)
