Even if the Constitution did not forbid Congress from expending money for that purpose it would still be immoral just as it is immoral for Congress to redistribute wealth.

You follow this pattern of throwing in far-reaching statements with zero support for them.

By what system of morality do you judge such actions of Congress as immoral?

Try using a little deductive reasoning some time. If it is wrong for one person to plunder another then it is also wrong for a million people to plunder a million others.

I ascribe to the principle of non-aggression which holds the initiation of force or fraud against another as an unnacceptable means of problem solving. It recognizes sovereignty of individuals and the sanctity of private property. Congress often passes laws which run contrary to the principle of non-aggression. That is how I judge acts of Congress to me immoral. It's quite simple really.
