You know what the definition of insanity is? Doing something over and over and expecting a different result. Perhaps #8 will be different.
Welcome to insanity in the US Congress, 2023 style. Look, we already knew the Congress was disfunctional on some levels (from recent history), now we just see more proof of this. A classic example of this is when the fed gov cannot reach an agreement on a budget and force a fed government shutdown. In the end, an agreement is accomplished and a bill is passed, and all government services are re-started. And ALL federal employees are paid in full (100% compensation) for their forced time off. A paid vacation really, at the expense of the US taxpayers. THAT is what you call a real cluster f*ck! Further deepening the federal deficit black hole, and by choice or party follies. 21 of them since 1976. https://www.thoughtco.com/government-shutdown-history-3368274
The longest gov SD ever was in 2018-2019 (34 days). During the trump regime.
