When our government spends twice as much on medical research as the EU countries and European commission do.
SO what major innovations have come from government research?
Typically the research is not done by the government. The funds are dispensed through grants. The proportion of public to private dollars is roughly the same in the US as in Europe, so it seems likely that they are allocated as a partial matching grant.
Hate to break it to you, but private industry spends a LOT more on research than the government does.
