We don’t know whether the money, time, and talent the government can pour into ANY area of basic research will yield results, and if so, of what magnitude and relevance.

Sure, we do. We just look at what the history of doing exactly that has already yielded, and look at the trend of information that it yields over time. (Increasing exponentially.)

Why on earth would you think that from this arbitrary point in time, that trend would just stop?
