Large, multi-billion dollar projects have been cancelled by the US in the past for merely being over-budget for too long. The NSA does quite a bit that I doubt would even be at risk of going on the chopping block, though I really have no idea what the NSA budget looks like. Unclassified national supercomputing, for example, is pretty intertwined with the NSA, and I doubt that will be threatened, even if their data collection/storage efforts are. 'Those systems' aren't much more than data centers and people--things can change.
