at the end of the day, it's not just looking for life, it's advancement of human knowledge, that could have a wide range of benefits. Any life (eg plant or bacterium life) could help us understand better life here, and could potentially lead to cures for certain diseases, and new energy sources, and more.
The quest for life is more than just looking for intelligent beings (as most life forms would certainly not qualify as intelligent), it is looking for so much more.

I think you will find that some of those funds come from privately funded bodies.Check out the S.E.T.I.site.But whether you like it or not governments have to spend on research.You can question the morality or logic of the research but research itself
cannot be left purely up to private enterprise and it is essential.

Nope
There are few tax payer funded programs. Most are privately funded.
Voyager was one of the few publicly funded ones and it was more about have them find us.
