Go read the section of Eisenhower’s farewell address about government-funded Science. He warned us, just like he warned us about the Military-Industrial Complex.

Here you be! "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist...we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite...As we peer into society’s future, we - you and I, and our government - must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow." Eisenhower farewell speech (Beware the ) “domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money.” Eisenhower
