That is wrong.
There was an alarmist story published a few weeks back about GPS satellites. The article said that the budget doesn't exist to repair/replace the satellites that will fail in the coming years and that GPS reliability and coverage will be diminished.
Problem was that the article was wrong. The budgets and plans to maintain GPS exist and are not in danger.
What you heard sounds like an uninformed misinterpration of the original article.
