So can we defund the NSA then? If their conclusion is “lol just don’t use computers for anything important” why pay them hundreds of billions of dollars to “secure” them?

NSA's encryption trickery means little when the "secured" system isn't actually turned on. You still need to count things even when they are not in use, especially when they are in long term storage.
