In theory this might work. In practice, the US is truly terrible at running big projects. Consider the 2nd avenue subway in NYC. We've been building it since 1972. It's still under construction and is the most expensive subway ever.

What big projects of any sort have we done a good job with lately? The closest we've had to a success might have been our second attempt at building an ebay for health insurance. When we run our current crop of big projects well, I'd think about expanding into more. Until then, lets not take chances with something as important as pharmaceutical research.
