"I don't think we (the U.S.) are in a position at our current levels of investment in education to control or even have a strong influence on how innovation develops."

I don't think the issue is our current level of investment in education. That level is very high. There might however be a problem with our current level of return on that investment, or to put in another way, how skillfully and efficiently the resources are invested.
