The US government always tries to do more, when it should do less.

US industry more or less invented integrated circuits, with a lot of help from the US government.

US industry hasn't been playing any kind of leading role for a good twenty years now. It's possible that the US government should have been more discriminating about the people in US industry who they subsidised - there's a difference between spending what money you do spend more wisely and spending less.

Venture capitalists invest money in risky ventures where the possible payoff is potentially much larger than sums being invested - one in twenty venture capital investments is reputed to pay off handsomely enough to cover the nineteen that don't do as well. Why can't your government manage that?

One might imagine that US industry hires away the the civil servants who could do as well.
