Yeah you're wrong. The US Government has a $146 billion R&D budget. That kind of spending has directly contributed to the US success in tech.

The government - university partnerships have been a massive boon to the US tech industry.

They have billions in business grants that you can apply for, covering just about everything you can think of going on in the economy. That includes advanced science and engineering grants, projects at the most cutting edge.
