    No, you don’t understand.

    The $500 million is money the government has to pay to have a public good built.

    Whereas the $50 billion is money invested corporations, which they got from their customers… and the government as incentives, tax breaks, and other magic that normal people can’t have. And it makes a private asset instead of a public good.

    So obviously the $50 billion is less money.
