So as I recall it went from 200 to 300 and privately funded, to 400, and now 600 with the taxpayers footing half or more, which will inevitably get to 800 or 1B with part of it handed directly to the baboon for his 'great vision'...

The Fuhrer Bunker keeps getting lavish upgrades and fixtures added on, of course it's getting more expensive. Probably got a shit load of tacky gold plated bullshit all over the fuckin place.

Well for some reason the price of gas and everything went up so of course we all have to pitch in!

If presidents operate outside the bounds of criminal law as the Supreme Court allows for Trump, can we at least hold him civilly liable for the unauthorized destruction of the East Wing and take him for every penny he has once he leaves office?

Shit. $300 million is a steal. I'm already paying Iran $300 billion.

For casual math, $300M is about $1 per American.
$300B is about $1000 per American.

If I’m paying for that disaster, I expect to be invited and be able to carve my initials in the tacky gold leaf
