STATE OF THE UNION '08: Bush on Funding Religious Charaties

Excerpt from Bush's final State of the Union address - Jan. 28, 2008:

"In communities across our land, we must trust in the good heart of the American people and empower them to serve their neighbors in need. Over the past 7 years, more of our fellow citizens have discovered that the pursuit of happiness leads to the path of service. Americans have volunteered in record numbers. Charitable donations are higher than ever. Faith-based groups are bringing hope to pockets of despair, with newfound support from the Federal Government. And to help guarantee equal treatment for faith-based organizations when they compete for Federal funds, I ask you to permanently extend Charitable Choice."

The Federal government has zero business giving our tax dollars to charity.

Please show me where in the Constitution is says they should be allowed to do this.
