The problem is that if the government does not fund R&D private industry sure as hell won't. Look at the current moaning about visas for well trained people, why in hell doesn't industry train them? I will bet that the very first CNC machine did not come with a trained operator. If we start importing brainpower and start a brain drain in some other country that ought to be fun to watch.
