NASA is so prestigious that they basically can get away with paying everyone very little. They aren't stuck with bottom of the barrel people even though they pay them bottom of the barrel wages.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I don't think more funding would really change much (other than allow them to fund more projects, but I'd argue that there are some serious diminishing returns at this point)
