    I would offer Madison's view

    The clause authorized Congress to spend money, but only to carry out the powers and duties specifically enumerated in the subsequent clauses of Article I, Section 8, and elsewhere in the Constitution, not to meet the seemingly infinite needs of the general welfare.

    In 1936 it went horribly wrong with United States v. Butler.  The Supreme court went off the rails, and stupid youth have been learning that its OK to tax and redistribute ever since.
