I like how you leave out the fact that FDR had to stack the courts in order to get his New Deal legislation to be upheld in the courts. The 'general welfare' clause was nothing more than a preamble to section 8 for 150 or so years until he did this.
So, saying Ron Paul misrepresents it is a huge stretch when it was the law of the land for so long and it's change was done in a very machiavellian way.
