Being a New Mexico native myself I can tell you wasting money on pie on the sky projects is hardly something New Mexico can afford. As one of the poorest states in the nation this article show much of the reason for it (poor leadership in general, as well as having reservations with 3rd world conditions also doesn't help). I no longer live in New Mexico because of the combination of a lack of good paying jobs and the fact the place is a dump in general (beautiful wilderness but the cities yuck). Still it does tend to have a lot of supercomputers in general due to having several national labs that mostly serve as government welfare for the state these days.
