The government spends more money building warehouses than private companies do. More money !== better results.
Granted, I'm hoping to see some very positive things come as a result of this. I'm just saying that spending more money doesn't always mean a better product.
I also noticed a very distinct LACK of mention for Java. I wonder if that means they'll be harnessing the power of the open source communities to further that rather than dumping money into it or if it means they're just going to ignore it.
