The NSA has an unlimited budget to store all the data they want. They have massive, billion-dollar data centers around the country (and the world?). The one in Utah is perhaps the best known.

Nothing is unlimited. If it cut into our tank budget, or anything old retirees care about, something would happen.

Nothing is unlimited, especially inflation. The idea of a "budget" when the FED can (and does) create trillions of dollars out of thin air with a few keystrokes is antiquated. They can - and do - devote whatever resources they desire for "national security".
