Scientific research is often not profitable, but necessary for advancement of our species. Much research does not produce economically feasible technology, however can be an important stepping stone towards useful tech. Without these stepping stones, we don't get to the useful tech. Also, government funding allows research into other areas that don't necessarily have any obvious useful application. This type of research can sometimes lead to radical new discoveries and opportunities.
The government can take away money if a scientist is not following ethical standards.
Increasing government funding of research
Research needs funding. Sometimes it can be got from private of commercial sources, but sometimes it can't. Getting it from the government is another source available. In some instances the results of the research could in some way be of use to the government, so there are benefits to them spending money on research.
My opinion is that freedom and funding of scientific research is the most important issue today. It has become a common practice of today's governments to regulate what scientists are allowed to research, with what funding, where their funding comes from, and what results they are allowed to report. Governments have been attempting to control scientific progress and scientific results. Overall this only inhibits the scientific community as a whole and slows down the further development of the human race. This is the most important matter in the scientific community in my opinion, for it can effect every field of science and can happen anywhere in the world.
