Automatic NASA budget increases

Why doesn't NASA get automatic budget increases equal to the rate of
inflation to prevent it from becoming overburdened and overstressed by the
withering of its budget. Lawmakers could then focus on real budget increases
(or cutbacks) with subsequent redefinition of NASA's goals. At the very
least this should be the case for such things as maintenance for the Shuttle
project or any other manned space programs.

Or is this already the case? Someone please contact Adm. Gehman!

Because lawmakers do not consider NASA to be deserving of such increases?

NASA's an example of 'if it's not worth doing, it's not worth doing well.'

That because back in the days of Goldin and Gore, Gore was in charge of
making the government more lean and Goldin stepped forward as a good soldier
and volunteered to take his agency (NASA) in the forefront of this effort.
