You seem to underestimate the cost of a lot of science (not to mention that more money doesn't necessarily mean we'll get more results, maybe just the same result duplicated).
The ISS is the most expensive structure ever built, after all.

The ISS is perhaps "the exception that proves the rule": its political value is vastly greater than its scientific value.
