However, when it came time to fund
amendments to that affect were unceremoniously rejected.
This kind of thing happens more often than alot of people realize. To avoid seeming like a shitbag, the politicos will vote in favor for something, and then when it comes time for funding, no one pays attention, and they reject the funding. Keeps the money spent down so they can keep promises made to lobbiests that didn't want it, and keeps prommises to lobbiests that did want it. Means more money in their pocket.
