Indeed it does sound crazy - is this one of those things politicians and bureaucrats like to do when faced with budget pressures, announce deep cuts in some highly visible and popular program(s) so that the public backlash will provide support for higher budgets overall?

Yep. Sounds like a “Washington Monument” gambit by NASA to try to fend off budget cuts.
