So next time I have a house project  I should just tell my boss to raise my
salary because my proposed addition or conversion to heat pumps came in
over budget?

That will be a short conversation

What do you suggest we taxpayers cut out of our personal budgets to fund
the town’s overspending

Your point is correct that the trade war has caused major problems and any
idiot would have seen this coming.  A competent and responsible committee
would have required a design with pieces to eliminate to meet budget

Please stop trying to excuse this (imho) blatant bungle
