Só pra vcs terem uma ideia o investimento por ano deve ter chegado a 500 bilhões de dólares esse ano (algo como 20% do PIB do Brasil ou 3% do PIB dos EUA). Enquanto isso no Brasil executamos apenas cerca de US$ 30 bilhões. O dado de 2013 foi R$ 85,6 bilhões, o equivalente a 1,66% do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) naquele ano.
Outra questão é que boa parte desse dispêndio é feito pelas empresas e não pelo estado com no Br.
Acho q só isso já explica a liderança tecnológica dos EUA.

U.S. research and development (R&D) performance rose to $477.7
billion in 2014 – an increase of $21.1 billion over 2013, according to a
recent National Science Foundation (NSF) InfoBrief.
When adjusted for inflation, growth in U.S. total R&D
performance (1.2 percent annually between 2008 and 2014) matched the
average pace of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). Of the $477.7 billion
in R&D funding, approximately 63 percent ($300.1 billion) went to
experimental development with the remaining 37 percent supporting basic
research ($84 billion) and applied research ($93.6 billion).
In line with a two-decade trend, the business sector remained the
largest performer of U.S. R&D – accounting for $340.7 billion (71
percent) of the total in 2014. Industry was also the largest funder of
R&D, accounting for $318.6 billion (67 percent) of the 2014 total.
Approximately 98 percent of industry-funded R&D was directed at
companies to perform the R&D. The federal government was the second
largest funder with $119.8 billion (25 percent); $34.4 billion of its
funding was dedicated to R&D at federal agencies, $34.1 billion to
academic institutions, $26.6 billion to businesses, and $17.5 billion to
FFRDCs. NSF estimates that in 2015, U.S. R&D performance reached $499.3 billion.
