    In most EU countries, if there really is a blowup over the budget (much rarer than the US), the old budget remains in place until a new one is negotiated.

      A solution so obvious that the current US system must be intentionally shitty for some reason.

        Do you us hasn’t had a real budget since Bill Clinton. Most everything else has been funded through continuing resolutions and temporary funding measures. There has not been a full budget past in decades.

        It’s just another political tactic to slip in a bunch of really nasty shit in these continuing resolution bills Hold the opposition hostage until they get what they want.

        Honestly these giant omnibus bills full of all kinds of shit that nobody reads and nobody knows what goes in there should be addressed.
