I would definitely “quibble” with him for funding - but NOT because tracking down the Higgs bosun is particularly important.
The technology we needed (still need!) for the super collider project - canceled by Clinton because it was going to be built in Bush’s Texas! - is the business and engineering of superconductors, ultra-high-speed control of physics particle packages at ultra-high speeds in magnetic fields, high-density superconducting magnetic containments, magnetic bottles, super-conducting fluids and low temperature engineering ...
Everything, in short, needed for a fusion power plant.

Everything, in short, needed for a fusion power plant. Oh, yeah! Tokamak anyone? Did I spell that right? It's been so long, ya know. Indeed, it has been a long time since I heard, "...in the next ten years, we'll have fusion power..." yawn

Everything, in short, needed for a fusion power plant. Bingo. The Apollo program didn't pay out by getting us to the moon. It payed out by learning everything needed to get there, which could then be applied to all sorts of things.
