Yes, Republicans and Democrats do not always vote lock-step. That does not negate the fact that Republicans tend to fund the sciences more. I'm sorry if this doesn't match up with your rhetoric, but it's true. One of the biggest names out of NASA told you it was true. The Republican controlled Congress just did it again right in front of you. The fact they didn't do it unilaterally does not in any way negate the original premise. Here's an article talking about the Obama administration recommended budget which cut funding to NASA. It's worth acknowledging here that Trump's requested budget ALSO cut funding for NASA, but the Congressional Republicans over-ruled him. https://www.universetoday.com/127309/nasa-2017-budget/ https://www.universetoday.com/127309/nasa-2017-budget/
