At least in engineering and computer science, Lou Dobbs is completely wrong. Heck, as a grad student at a top-tier research university, you can get ~$24K (and a highly tax-advantaged $24K, at that). Depending on the location, that can mean a comfortable five years.
Sure, except Balmer thinks ahead: he ties a rope to the deck chairs. That way, he can pull up whatever muck gets dredged up, slap a dictionary word on it, and sell it as the next New Thing.

Finding these blips is the easy part. Any first year grad student can do it. They will even learn something from the process.
The interesting part is figuring out which blips are important and which don't matter, then explaining why. Pushing the identification part to an algorithm is a waste of time and I don't expect computers to be taking over research part any time in the foreseeable future.
