America's 250th, H-1B Visas, the General Welfare Clause, & Can a Dictionary Save the Constitution?

So let's dig into the Constitution.

It's 2026, and I'm hearing a lot of folks on each side of the aisle, Stephen, say the Constitution, that old document that everybody says, yeah, it's our founding document and it means a lot to us, but then we'll say that and then turn our back and do something completely different that's completely unconstitutional.

So it seems like both parties are a little allergic to constitutionality.

So why the focus on the Constitution in 2026 when everybody else seems to have moved past it?

Well, for the very simple reason it is the basis for all the other laws.

When the Constitution was ratified and agreed upon 250 years ago, America just took off like crazy.

There was a huge affluence that occurred.

Why? Because people understood what they had agreed upon, and they agreed upon it, and they moved forward working together.

I don't think you could say that about today's politics.

Well, and, I mean, yes, that's true.

You couldn't say it about today's politics.

But I guess, you know, then the question is, well, how do we, in a, what's the word, an unconstitutional, a non-constitutional era, how do we Get people to care, right? And I ask that as someone, my job is a professional communicator.

I work in sales.

My job is to get people to care about things I hope they care about, but if not, to show them why they should.

So for someone out there who they say, listen, I get it.

It used to be important, right? But again, it's 2026.

Yeah, our laws were built on it.

But like, I mean, do we have laws anymore? Are they all executive orders? Like, I mean...

Are we too far gone? Are we past that constitutional era?

I would certainly hope not because that is the stable datum upon which the country was founded.

And it may sound, um, you know, stuffy to say, well, it's old, um, but you should still follow it.

It's actually a vital document that, uh, that was a result of hundreds and thousands of hours of discussion and research by the founding fathers, um, to find out what is the best way.

for a government to run the country.

And they researched every single governance system that existed throughout history.

And what they came up with was the constitution.
