I'm not going to get too much into the debate because it's such a deep subject and I've said enough. I'd like Methusala to tell us how the Federal Reserve Act is constitutional, though ;-)

Anyway, here's some Jefferson on "the general welfare":

Not that I'm Methusala, but I figured I'd jump in without an invite. Smiley_emoticons_biggrin

This is debated over and over and over. The power of Congress to charter a bank and to give that bank power to issue circulating paper currency was confirmed by the Supreme Court almost 100 years before the Federal Reserve was even formed. See McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819).
