The National Constitution Center

The Preamble

by Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of Berkeley Law School; Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California – Berkley Law School; Michael Stokes Paulsen, Distinguished University Chair and Professor at University of St. Thomas School of Law

The Constitution is “owned” (so to speak) by the people, not by the government or any branch thereof.

We the People are the stewards of the U.S. Constitution and remain ultimately responsible for its continued existence and its faithful interpretation.

That's what I learned the first day of kindergarten back in the 1950's ...

Do you think Joe Biden ever learned any of that anywhere in his education, because it doesn't show in his actions today, where he thinks that it is he, and not the supreme court, that interprets the constitution as our constitution intended so as to fulfill ALL of the preamble, and not just a word here or there as Joe Biden would have it be ...

Joe is just like the pig Napolean in Animal Farm, up on two legs with his vicious dogs all around him while the animals all chant all are equal but some are more equal than others ...

[jeffmoskin]

Joe Biden has done a lot to promote the general welfare - in spite of Repub opposition - and during the catastrophic handling of COVID-19 by TFG.

[thelivyjr]

Like what?

This country is now more divided than ever under Joe Biden ...

How does dividing the nation promote the general welfare?

THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR APRIL 18, 2024 AT 11:52 AM

For an example of these “hidden” costs to local taxpayers associated with this STIMULATION money and CORPORATE WELFARE Joe Biden is handing out like candy to the richest corporations in the world as he pumps out enormous amounts of state support to these corporations, let’s go back to Joe’s so-called State of the Union Address on 7 March 2024, where we have the following self-congratulatory BIDEN PUFFERY and BOBAUNCE, to wit:

The great comeback story is Belvidere, Illinois.

Home to an auto plant for nearly 60 years.

Before I came to office, the plant was on its way to shutting down.

Thousands of workers feared for their livelihoods.

Hope was fading.

Then, I was elected to office, and we raised Belvidere repeatedly with auto companies, knowing unions would make all the difference.

The UAW worked like hell to keep the plant open and get these jobs back.

And together, we succeeded.

Instead of auto factories shutting down, auto factories are reopening and a new state-of-the-art battery factory is being built to power those cars there at the same.

To the folks — to the folks of Belvidere, I’d say: Instead of your town being left behind, your community is moving forward again.

Because instead of watching auto ja- — jobs of the future go overseas, 4,000 union jobs with higher wages are building a future in Belvidere right here in America.

Now, people, seriously doesn’t that that sound just grand and glorious – there is beleaguered Belvidere, Illinois down on its knees, gasping for its last breaths before finally expiring for good when just in the nick of time along comes WHITE KNIGHT Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior on his white destrier standing 20 hands tall with Joe and his couched lance, pennants flying, firmly in the saddle, and the day is saved, and peace and prosperity will reign forever after in Belvidere, Illinois, thanks to Joe.

But is that really true?

For that answer, let’s go to the Jan 18, 2024 edition of the Rockford Register Star and a news item titled “A $32M sewer expansion needed for Belvidere battery plant” where we learn as follows, to wit:

Four Rivers Sanitation Authority Executive Director Tim Hanson said his office is preparing an estimated $32 million plan talked about for three decades to extend sanitary sewer lines to the area from Cherry Valley to service the Stellantis facility and any suppliers that will be needed.

end quote

So, to make Joe’s INSANE GREEN DREAM come true in Belvidere, Illinois, the people in that area are going to have to pony up an estimated $32 million plus cost overruns to make Joe’s INSANE GREEN DREAM actually come true, so that when Joe said to the folks of Belvidere on 7 March 2024, that “instead of your town being left behind, your community is moving forward again,” we have to ask ourselves this important question, which applies to corrupt Poestenkill as well:

ARE THEY REALLY?

Or is Joe driving those people in Belvidere, like the people of corrupt Poestenkill, NY, into eternal debt slavery to pay off the cost of that $32 million sewer expansion in their case, and in the case of Poestenkill, about a million in hidden costs to upgrade the piping system from Troy, New York through Brunswick, New York in order to actually be able to get the water Joe’s STIMULATION money appears to be paying for?

Here's a great example of how Joe "MONEYBAGS" Biden is destroying communities in America as he tries to promote the general welfare, as if a hack, money-grubbing professional politician like Joe Biden, who like a rat in a farmer's corncrib has been feeding off the public his entire adult life, would have a clue as to what promoting the general welfare even means, other than the general welfare of BIDEN INCORPORATED, as the Biden crime family is known in America, where stealing from the taxpayers is not a crime so long as one does it while an elected official, because elected officials like Joe Biden have immunity from the law ...

Biden has delivered three large spending programs, designed to increase jobs for the working class. I think that counts as "promoting the general welfare"

"Smaller US manufacturers warm to Biden's big industrial plan, survey shows"

by Timothy Aeppel on April 16, 2024

April 16 (Reuters) - America’s small and mid-sized manufacturers may be warming up to the Biden administration’s push for an aggressive industrial policy.

Biden’s industrial policy, headlined by legislation passed in 2022 that sparked a surge of factory construction, is aimed at boosting semiconductors, electric vehicles and green technologies, as well as other sectors.

The efforts so far have not produced many manufacturing jobs.

“Philly Fed manufacturing gauge charges to 2-year high”

by Reuters on April 18, 2024

Factory employment, meanwhile, continued to fall, dropping to its lowest level overall since May 2020, in keeping with other gauges showing sluggish employment in the sector.

Manufacturing job growth has been next to non-existent over the past year, with the Labor Department’s measure of new factory jobs averaging just 2,000 a month in that span, among the weakest-performing industries in the private sector.

Biden has delivered three large BORROW TRILLIONS AND SPEND LIKE A DRUNKEN SAILOR IN A WHORE HOUSE TOWN programs, said to be designed to increase jobs for the working class, but where oh where are those jobs?

I don't think driving the nation deep into debt to reward the richest corporations in the world with free money as Joe is really doing counts as "promoting the general welfare" ...

[jeffmoskin]

Debt is the only way out. Lucky for us that the world likes to use US dollars. We are the official printers of the coin of the realm. In truth, we don't even print it anymore - we just key it in at the FED.

Repubs are allways griping about debt, as they cut taxes and borrow more money.

“Smaller US manufacturers warm to Biden’s big industrial plan, survey shows”

by Timothy Aeppel on April 16, 2024

“This is the first time in a long time that we’ve had a deliberate industrial strategy being pushed by the executive branch – that’s unique,” said Randy Altschuler, chief executive of Xometry.

Altschuler said federal investments have yet to filter down to smaller producers, with many of the most high-profile projects favoring giants like Intel and Samsung, which are both planning new semiconductor plants.

“You’re going to see a bigger benefit (for smaller companies) further down the road,” said Altschuler, as those projects create demand for the underlying pipeline of goods and services needed to complete and supply those factories.

BIDE-O-NOMICS = MASSIVE DEBT-FUELED TRICKLE DOWN with the richest corporations in the world getting massive amounts of state support from Joe Biden coupled with lucrative tax breaks, while people at the bottom like me are forced out of the economy as BIDENFLATION eats us out of house and home ...

Debt is the only way out.

Said the Weimar Republic to itself as it spun, crashed and burned ...

The Weimar Republic's Mark was never the world's currency. The US Dollar is. If it were not, we would also be needing wheelbarrows to go shopping.
