The $100 mil was in addition
All the other money is to probably train computer programmers ... that's why programmers here in the US can't find work

You are 100% correct timucin...I would also have a certain bit of resentment towards the government.
But to shoot down your own people, the needy in your own country, in favor of recruiting new programmers in India...I just don't agree.
