NASA nah, they transitioned to third party launch providers many years ago. They like making space vehicles more than rockets. The SLS, yes, that's a classic pork project.
ULA is the real problem. The government allowed all the launch providers to merge into one with no domestic competition. Think space Comcast. Other countries allowed the same. Nobody innovated for decades. Russia and US ULA are flying rockets from 50 years ago with minimal updates.
