Congress has made the extremely difficult and courageous decision to postpone its ONLY JOB for another three months, so it can later make the extremely difficult and courageous decision to postpone its ONLY JOB for another three months, and so ad infinitum.
Writing the budget is the ONLY JOB of Congress. It is ALLOWED to make other laws but it MUST pass a budget every year.
If humans performed their JOB in the brave and gutsy Congressional way:
Grocery stores would pile up the incoming food in the parking lot for three months, spoiling all the fresh vegs and meat, and then open the store for one day to hang up a sign saying “We will be open for business three months from now.”
Trash truck drivers would sit at home for three months, then drive around in their trucks shouting “Hold onto your trash! We’ll be ready in three months!”
Schools would… Oops, schools DID perform just like Congress. And so did doctors. Except they put off their job for two years, not three months.
