[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also relevant: other countries do not do this, and the US didn't used to. Other places, if the budget doesn't get passed on time, government services continue at prior funding levels (like our continuing resolution, without the vote). This is very much a modern, US-specific, self-inflicted problem.[/quote] Self-inflicted because it generates drama that works for media publicity. Shutdowns are proof points for storytelling of a politically useful nature.[/quote]
