The Fed's $2.5B renovation epitomizes bureaucratic bloat - security upgrades and historic preservation don’t justify costs ballooning XX% over initial estimates. While Powell claims inflation/tariffs drove overruns, the real issue is unaccountable planning: blast-resistant windows and seismic walls shouldn’t cost taxpayers triple typical federal construction rates.

Trump’s tour highlights systemic rot - agencies treat budgets as blank checks while Americans face crushing inflation. The Fed’s marble Eccles Building gets VIP treatment, yet Congress can’t fund border wall upgrades without drama.

Time to audit every line item, starting with why DHS’s security mandates became a gold-plated excuse for waste. Renovation necessity? Maybe. Fiscal malpractice? Absolutely.
