Well, we could start with the infinite energy requirement, I suppose, which is patently impossible.
There's also the point that infinite resources doesn't translate to a workable piece of hardware. Sometimes a fire hose of money and a git-er-done spirit gives you a remarkable success, like the Manhattan and Apollo projects. But for every success, there's usually a string of costly failures and dead ends. The history of US Cold War military tech development is littered with failures that were the subject of no-holds funding and endless resources for years.
When the engineering challenges just don't want to be solved, they won't get solved, and then all your hard effort just ends in finger pointing and Congressional investigations.
