Public vs private sector.

Consumer protection.
Environmental protection.
Clean Water Act.

Weapons manufacturing
Research & Development:
    Nuclear weapon
    Bioweapons
    Communication Networks (ie Internet)
    Basic Science (where do all the hot biotech entrepreneurs come from? US universities)
