The truly great innovations are done by people who are interested in a problem and want to solve it. Rarely is it done for money. It is in the best interest of society that the people who are creative and smart have an avenue to explore that creativity without too much risk. This means lowering the cost to higher education and constricting the amount of people who go to college. The best math grad students want to go to MIT, Stanford, Berkley, etc. because that's where the other smart people are and the environment fosters development. If we lose this then it will be a long term disaster for the nation. The goal needs to be to get universities back to allowing problem solvers solve problems and not become factories that churn out workers.
