Isn't it a bit of a stretch to connect funding that eventually indirectly lead to Google, with someone who was the CEO for 10 years (not even since inception)?

Isn't it a bit of a stretch to connect funding that eventually indirectly lead to Google, with someone who was the CEO for 10 years (not even since inception)? Google itself is still an American company paying taxes, Schmidt hasn't been the CEO of Google for a decade, I don't see why that's related. By that logic you could also say that the US Gov also helped pay for his high school or even kindergarten maybe. I'm not really taking a side here, but it seems like your argument is a bit too broad.
