Oh, by the way, there’s a massive list of inventions, innovations and initiatives that changed the world, employed millions and were great for the country.

In just the last quarter century the government’s funding supported the creation of microchips, barcodes and the internet. I won’t even get into all the stuff that’s come from NASA and Defense Dept research.
