Uh, in that case we'll have to disagree. I think corporations in general do a better job of spending money than the government, but I don't have hard evidence for that view.

Agreed. To add perspective, I don't believe corporations will give a crap about the people (extreme example, Amazon) like we believe our respective governments should. I'd rather have bad spending on keeping people alive than no spending at all.

In my experience, corporations are great at finding ways to get "innovation grants" and "R&D tax incentives" for things that involve no real research or innovation.

Instead of actually promoting innovation, they tend to become a subsidy for the tech industry.
