First time I have ever heard Sci-Tech brought up in any kind of election except in Silicon Valley when it hit bottom and candidates were promising revival. How is a candidate going to respond? I am anti-progress? Of course they can promise anything but Congress is the one that can bring these things about.
Of course government controlled and/or funded research scares the heck out of me. Other than Al Gore's inventing the internet I think private companies themselves and their funding of university programs do the real innovation.
I sincerely believe this is just a bunch of campaign promises that cannot be fufilled nor are the candidates that serious about. Just fishing for votes in.
