    It’s not automatic everywhere! I’m pretty sure deciding where the money from the budget goes is the biggest decision the current government can take for shaping the country. But in other countries this is mostly passed by Parliament, where the government has the majority by design most of the time (that’s why they are the ruling party or coalition). On the USA, the Congress and Senate thing is responsible for the deadlock.
