I'm not saying that it should be ended completely. In the same vein as my original comment, when times are good, I think the budget should be inflated.
Human civilization will do fine if social and economic situations call for a reduced scope for a few years. The technology ripple effect won't cease or even slow down significantly when you look at it on a larger time scale.
