Another way of looking at it is:

- the current system works for the benefit of US industry, military, and the economy

- the current system has delivered real results over many decades

- nobody has proposed how an alternate solution would work ("use AI" is not an answer)

- much less an alternate that has been tested at all

- even much less an alternate that has shown any results

A sensible approach would be to do trials of other approaches before making changes that will ensure Americans are poorer for decades than they otherwise would be.
