Let me be blunt:
There is no such thing as "government-funded" anything.
There are no "government-funded" militaries, public works, healthcare systems, social safety nets, whatever.
Governments do not generate wealth. They are given it by or take it from the people, and then redistribute it to such places as their bureaucrats feel best.
This place is usually said bureaucrat's pockets, as much as possible.
The proper term for anything where the guys doing the work are getting paid with checks drawn on insert-government-here is "taxpayer-funded".
