Answer # 1

This is not answered via biblical text, its answered by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers. Its text which is tied directly to the enumerated power of congress in the United States constitution. Provide for the general welfare is therefore limited by the enumerated powers and does not stand alone as a separate power. Hamilton explains it exactly as such.
