How much is being spent on searching for something that so far we've found nothing?

So let's assume they find some place that life exists, we can't reach it, it can't reach us and it has zero effect on our lives on Earth.

Of course if it can reach us, it would be best to remain hidden as their technology will be so far advanced chances are they want something from us. Exploration is driven by exploitation.

The problems we have on Earth are over population, over exploitation of resources, climate change, pollution, debt and finding a bug in outer space that does nothing will for us, does not solve them.
