> Auger in Argentina combines water tanks, scintillators and fluorescence telescopes and is investigating adding in radio antennas.

Any thoughts about surviving the next 4 years?

Pierre Auger Observatory is a project with scientific collaborators from all over the world. The initial construction costs were shared by 15 different countries. Ongoing work and upgrades are paid by a variety of international funding sources. To get some sense of that, see [1] and the Acknowledgements section of journal papers arising from work there, such as [2].
