Maybe more than that

The U.S. has lost at least two generations to budget cuts and de-education. We can’t compete in any arena. Even our military is obsolete, which is why the military industrial complex is thrashing about, pointing a pistol at everyone in the room, and ranting like a madman, demanding all sorts of ridiculous concessions.

Desperation is a stinky cologne.

Yeah, well the line must go up. Who cares if we're sowing our inevitable demise?

That's what they want. Smart people don't vote R.

Not "will lose". Should be "has just lost". And I don't think there will be a recovery. Even if you imagine a happy improvement over the next decade, global diversification of educational and research institutions won't magically disappear.
