I don't want to discuss if this is right or not, I don't feel qualified, but I only want to point out that there's an obvious mix between bitcoins and dollars in the reasoning.
You don't have any unit in you text but, when you start, we can assume you speak in BTC (transaction fees are in BTC) then, at the end, you talk about dollars (a government spending 2 billions is in dollars, as there will never be 2 billions BTC).
Where happens the switch between btc and $? I don't know and, obviously, you don't too.
That's why, independently of its truth value, this first post is completely illogical. (and thus, we cannot make any conclusion from it).
(no, a simple translation from btc to dollars cannot be done as, if a government want to do that, they will start buying all bitcoins, raising the value of bitcoins in the process.)
You are jumping to conclusions, I was very careful with my units. The transaction fees are in dollars because USD is more stable and it is fair to call them equivalent in low amounts. The large amounts ($2 billion, for example) refer to the cost of buying the hardware, which can easily be done in USD.
