Hardly a progressive response given that the US govt has been investing in R&D at a significant level since the 1950s, only leveling off in the Bush years to pay for a war and tax cuts that primarily benefit the top taxpayers.
You can ignore the economic impact, but that wont change the fact that in a global economy, if we dont invest, we dont compete on a level playing field.
