  • US Senate Backs Stopgap Federal Funding Bill, Bill Averts Govt Shutdown

How impact usd/jpy?
Stupid question I know, It's more a rhetorical comment. But why does US Gov keep running out of money and needing emergency stop-gap funding? Isn't there anyone on Capitol Hill and Pensylvania Ave who can look at the budget as they set it and say - well actually we always need more than we think so how about we increase the budget from the get-go to take account of the fact that they keep running out of money, or maybe we should stop doing things we don't have money for, or is budgeting an alien concept in the corridors of power?

I'm always mystified by this...

There's nothing mysterious about this. It's the gridlock between two polar-opposite political parties.
They always do this...

If you are mystified its your own fault.

Perhaps you are right - perhaps I should not be in any way surprised by the stupidity and ineptitude of others, but I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt... Ever the optimist!
