Many problems aren't solvable by simply throwing money at them. Research money is no guarantee of finding an elegant solution. Think of all the billions spent on cancer research, and cancer is still the #2 killer.
Look at how much the US spends on education and healthcare, and how poor our results are.
New solutions will come, but it will mostly take time and luck.
