It's not a big problem for the FAA at all. They have to cut $600million/yr. Business 101, to do that you cut payroll and close facilities. Smaller towers will be closed and larger towers will see manpower cut. TSA will drop a few officers from each airport (I know the smart-alecks will like that, but they're not going away, it'll just take longer now) and my guess is Pre-check will be a thing of the past. No problem at all for them. The problem is for us.
I could be wrong. As someone who flies every week, I hope I'm wrong. We'll find out soon enough.
