I think if you all dug down a little deeper, you would realize my point in largely correct. It is one of the larger unknowns in american society.


The more I look into your point the more I realize how many more and better advancements we could have if all that money was never given to the government and people used that money to fund research/companies on their own. We could probably have invested 10x the amount of money into research if it didn't go through the government first.

Interesting theory, but I seriously doubt it. If your theory was true, we would see a large number of major technological advances/discoveries from countries that don't invest in higher ed/research. That isn't really the case.
