oh look it's that yearly thing that they do. if only there was punishment for it happening, but alas nothing will ever change.

I swear I see this story more than once per year.

Because it happens more than once a year because they pass what's called a Continuing Resolution here and there, which kicks the can down the road to these chokepoint dates. This is the same budget argument they didn't settle all the way back to October 1.

This has gotten much worse in the last decade as well.
