Oh, love reading back old topics.
The things you mention were definitely brought to us by Uncle Sam. The difference between all of these examples and the typical Gummint Help is this:
All of them are technologically so far advanced that they are above the capabilities of all five-hundread-and-some members of Congress. So having something that they completely don't understand they believe their staff and vote for it but don't have any understanding why. Those projects were successful.
Obamacare - they all thought they had a better idea and meddled until what we got was from a committee of 500+.
