I do not understand how some government employee can just spend money with no procedures. Who approves it?

As usual, Congress is not doing their job of oversight.

As assistant FBI director McCabe bought an $80,000 table for a meeting room. Someone once spent 25,000 on drapes.

Don’t the have a purchase order system that has to be signed off by many like a private company?

Ridiculous.

$2.5 billion?

From Google Search

The most expensive stadium renovation in world history is the renovation of Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, which cost approximately $1.8 billion, according to finance site Yahoo. This renovation included a retractable roof, a retractable field, and a 360° video board, significantly modernizing the historic venue

“”Powell nodded in disagreement””

That’s like “shaking” your head YES and “nodding” your head NO, isn’t it?

Gavin Newsom (satire) : The cost overruns Powell ok’d weren’t even as high as ours by percentage for the high speed rail project. Perfectly understandable. If taxpayers need something we supply it. With more of their money.

You could build a few big league stadiums for the money spent on a remodel of the FED palace and seat 50,000 and more people.

Powell has a cost over run of at least $600 million!
He should not be in charge of our economy!

Watching the news this morning on the local NBC affiliate, when they ran the NBC clip about this visit, the reporter stated that it is a 2.5 MILLION renovation.

LIARS!!!
