If the ISS is mothballed there is very little reason to be doing shuttle launchs, so the shuttle would probably also be all but shutdown. That would also be a huge savings for NASA. Except of course NASA's whole reason for existance is manned space flight, so NASA could be mothballed as well. JPL can take the whole budget and send robot probes everywhere then.
