Still, obviously it happens, else you would have totally deadlocked political system crisis every two years, lasting for two years. Now, with the polarization present, right this is a big problem - and still in congress and senate at least the very absolute indispensable compromises were worked out.
You cannot live without that. Compromises. Give and take.
Probably more relevant in senate, however, but still.
If it would not be true what I said, you wouldn't have a budget currently, but a lockdown on all state spendings.
What prevented this: inter-party cooperation to find a compromise.
Works very comparable in Germany with both chambers we have, Bundestag and Bundesrat.
