They would just find some other reason to require millions and millions of tax payer dollars.

Th cost-effective method is to offer a bounty. The X-Prize series being an example.

X Prize Foundation - Wikipedia
XPRIZES are monetary rewards to incentivize three primary goals: Attract investment from outside the sector that take new approaches to difficult problems. Create significant results that are real and meaningful. Competitions have measurable goals, and are created to promote adoption of the innovation.
