Is academia actually underfunded, or does is just create a large, underpaid labor class it can motivate with a tenure carrot? I don't get a sense that there's actually that much more research that needs to be done as much as we need a lot of TAs and lecturers.

"More funding" would be a necessary part of a solution, but would only work when coupled to other necessary measures to encourage genuinely productive science.
