Since when is the goal of the government the "general welfare"?

Mind you, it can and does sometimes promote policy that promotes the general welfare...but I find it rather dishonest to claim that that is its only goal.

Huh ? So, if the general welfare is not the State's goal, what would it serve to ? Huh I already hear the Libertarians "NOTHING !"

I misphrased that....obviously the "goal" of every government, more or less, at least in theory, is the general welfare.

What I meant is that in practice, the government often does things in contrast to what I would consider promoting the general welfare.
