This article is about government support of the space industry, and the parent comment stated "I'll believe it when NASA's budget is raised."
My point is that the government can support the space industry in many ways, some of which won't involve more funding for NASA. As an example, governments have 'supported' renewable energy through policy without needing to do so through a NASA-like equivalent in the renewable energy sector.

Exactly. I'm saying that NASA's budget is an outdated metric to determine the American government's support of the space industry.
I'm not proposing anything else.
