Until we can stretch on the idea of "the common good" there won't be any easy fixes. We have plenty of infrastructure to replace and/or repair at the moment. I know that there is a plan in place, but it seems to be lacking in execution. We also have plenty of room for research associates and competent teachers/students.
Physical infrastructure and education, surely two areas where any amount of borrowing is likely to pay dividends. If we're going to borrow, why not borrow for these? If we're not going to borrow, why not cut fundings to other programs with the express intention and guarantee of those funds going into these two areas? Rather than searching for top down fixes to problems we could crowd-source (bottom-up) from our newly invigorated pool of academia, while leveraging the improvements to infrastructure to realize their innovations.. Wouldn't this foster the generation of wealth no matter how we went about it?
