The NSA has overstepped its boundaries consistently and is wholly untrustworthy, having been caught lying repeatedly over many years to congressional inquiries and the fine citizens of this country. It costs taxpayers 20 billion or more dollars a year - we don't know the actual costs because they are "classified" - and thus unaccountable. The metrics of NSA "success" are muddied and hidden behind closed doors, and the very existence of programs like PRISM angers our allies. Defund the NSA and put that money where it could actually do some good, like balancing the budget or investing in something that might actually do some good in the future.
