I think that there's a good argument that we need a review of programs and to explicitly indicate their status in law regarding funding when there's no budget ahead of time. Having all this worked out by courts at the last minute under extreme time pressure is a mess. Makes it much harder to plan.
Yes, ideally we'd never have shutdowns, but they do happen, and in the past few years we've had an unusually high number. Better to be prepared.
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.
SNAP actually did that. There's an several billion dollar emergency buffer fund that was established for exactly this situation. Trump and his cronies decided to not use it though.
The judge is trying to make sure the plan that was established is followed instead of Trump getting to just choose who benefits from his whims
He'll say all the money is gone, because he had to bail out a Russian yacht manufacturer, but it created a lot of jobs, and was very profitable. For Russians.
So they didn't do it. The buffer is just more money in the same bucket they just hope they don't have to use, but they have direct control over neither. Emergency powers should probably transfer to an impartial body of possible recipient analysts so funds cannot be used as political fodder.
