Ignoring all the political stuff, you do have an interesting point.

How much quantum computing will $75 million buy the US government? It doesn't seem like that much money, given that the Summit super computer at Oak Ridge cost $325 million to build.

$75 millions seems like the amount you'd need to start renting office space and hire researchers for a few years. I don't think it will be enough to fund building any actual quantum computers. Especially given that we're talking three centers, not one.
