I want it to work, but to me it feels like throwing money at a problem without solving any of it.

For migrating existing applications to the cloud, I agree. That can be the case. But for new projects the initial input is much, much less than getting new hardware set up so I don't think that's the case there.

There are already several government projects running in the cloud and I'm hoping it's cheaper to run them there than with owned hardware but I haven't seen numbers either way.
