You understand, the "over budget" money comes from you. And goes to politically connected friends of Obama.-------The State Department's Wasteful, Dangerous Plan for More Beautiful, More Energy-Efficient Embassies

The State Department's Wasteful, Dangerous Plan for More Beautiful, More Energy-Efficient Embassies | National Review Online:

...As part of the initiative, called “Design Excellence,” a new U.S. embassy in London is scheduled to open in 2017. 

Six months into construction, according to a new report from CBS News, the $1 billion project is already $100 million over budget.

Meanwhile, in Papua New Guinea, the State Department completely discarded a proposed embassy design and had to entirely restart the project, which will now cost $211 million instead of the original $50 million.
