"doubled NASAs budget and chucked that 50% increase to private contractors like SpaceX"
I agree. If the US said they would tax Apple's cash pile @ 10% if Apple were willing to repatriate the money, that'd bring in enough to double NASA's budget. I'm not saying 10% is the right number, but just giving an example.

It would bring in triple that. Personal dividend tax is 20%.
Plus California takes another 10% off the top, so they could start their own space program!
