yeh happened last in 2019? also I'm in the UK and I'm actively having to seek out this information, it's not in mainstream media at all. the BBC which are government funded have like 2 articles on it but you have to search for them to find them. very interesting
Basically it’s just a weird quirk of the US Congress where politicians can promise whatever they want to their constituents, vote to increase spending and the debt, but then when it comes time to actually pass the budget, the parties have a showdown to try to get the other side to give in to their demands, and they pretend to hold the entire country hostage because it gets the media excited and gives them drama to cover for ratings.
🤣🤣🤣🤣yeh you really wouldn't get anything like that anywhere else lolllll
