What about stuff like the hadron collider etc? Basically high-tech stuff that may not yield any short-term gains, but quite necessary to explore the sciences that may yield long-term gains.

Why do you imagine that government funding is necessary for that? Scientific exploration has long been the domain of universities and industry without the need for any state support.
That's just the usual next question ;) - nice response
