The United States is no longer in the top 10 of countries for innovation and new technology. A big reason for this are cutbacks in research and development at universities. You cannot compete in the global marketplace if you don't invest in R&D.
"The U.S. Drops Out of the Top 10 in Innovation Ranking"
The article contradicts your claims:
The U.S. fell to 11th place from ninth mainly because of an eight-spot slump in the post-secondary, or tertiary, education-efficiency category, which includes the share of new science and engineering graduates in the labor force.

Another fake title thread.
I made my statement on the table in the article, which showed that the US ranks #10 in "R&D intensity." Why aren't we No. 1? Part of it is because Trump and the Republican congress have gutted investment in research at universities.

The anti-science sentiment may play a part in this. But part of this (and perhaps the bigger part) is a result of short term, selfish thinking.
It say that as long as MY base of people who look like me, think like me, and are wealthy like me get their way right now, let's just defer the liability of not making those investments towards the future down to the later generations, since it won't be our problem at that point.

LOL! Your research skills suck. (You should work on that if you are going to pretend to know science.)
A 2-second google search to collect the data on "R&D Intensity" reveals:
2017 - Behind a paywall (no biggy)
2016 - US ranks #10
2015 - US ranks #11
Aannd, that's quite enough to shoot the sh*t out of your mahvalously "sciency" hypothesis.

No, part of it is because the US, both government and private industry, has been contracting R&D for a couple decades. The same complaint was leveled in the 1970s.
What kind of crap headlines are people getting away with around here? Absurd
