is the government pointlessly wasting money? are the people who make financial decisions and enforce the law for the government looking for sneaky ways to pocket that money for themselves without getting caught?
of course not, you live in a perfect utopia and nothing like that would ever happen.
jwst being $14.2billion over budget is just a big accident, its not massive cash cow with no real financial oversight or measurements of progress.
just sit tight, be patient and keep on working hard to earn valuable income taxes and if you're a good boy then eventually everything you wish for will come true.
