    Seems insane to me that the US has no mechanism to deal with a Congress that refuses to do it’s job. In other countries if they couldn’t pass a budget they would be dissolved and new elections would be held. If you can’t do the job that people have elected you for, you should get replaced.

      The founders didn’t think anyone would be this stupid and/or figured folks would start dropping if they did do something this stupid so no system was put in place. A lot of the flaws of the US become a lot less obvious if you disregard the concept of not just shooting politicians or other wars maiming them, do you really think Johnson would be such a prick if he was at risk for being tard and feathered?
