That phrase is not in the constitution. The exact phrase is "promote the general welfare" in the preamble (Note that the word provide is used in the context of 'provide for the common defense')

It does not mean that everyone gets welfare as defined today.

Within the context of the constitution, the aspects of the 'general welfare' are enumerated in Article I, section 8 - these items are the embodiment of promoting the general welfare.
