My understanding is because no one wants to move to Montana from DC so they lost a good chunk of their staff.
Darn? I mean...shucks...a lot of the admin in a federal bureaucracy would have gone away.
Grand Junction is major town on I-70 in western Colorado, close to the Utah border, not in Montana.

Making the bureaucrats live in a less cushy place, without the glamor and glitz of high society, was kind of the point.
It's not a good thing if the people holding authority over the use of the land, are about as distantly removed as a social class as possible, from the social class of the people who use the land.
More accurately, it blows a massive hole in the default current PR strategy assumed by western governments, which for many hurts more than any terrorists created really.
As for creating terrorists, that's more of an indirect implication with a lot of assumptions inside.
For comparison, Assad blew up civilians on a completely different scale, yet instead of drowning in newly created terrorists, he won the civil war instead.
However his government's support structure, strategy, PR and reaction to such events are completely different.

It would be the Treasury exploiting a loophole so the bills could still be payed on time after Congress told them to stop borrowing money. It would also be Congress' fault because they tell the Treasury how much to spend and on what.
Coughing fit, pants of shit................
Literally in his case.
Biden's Treasury Department wishes to track financial transactions of any bank accounts above $600 in fair market value.

Biden Treasury Department Seeks to Track Financial Transactions of Personal Bank Accounts Over $600
The Biden administration is proposing that banks be required to report all transactions greater than $600 to collect more tax revenue. This policy is poised to suffocate businesses and stifle the financial privacy of Americans.
