the USA is existing without a budget right now.


Uh, that is what is meant by 'government shutdown'. It's been
explained to you in excruciating detail.


In normal democracies a government falls (and new election called) if it
is unable to pass a budget on time, so most don't think of the
possibility of the USA existing without a budget.


Then apparently most aren't aware of the difference between a
parliamentary system and a republican system.


BTW, during the shutdown, NASA Tweeted that it would be unable to tweet
during the shutdown :-)


Probably someone doing that on their way out the door.
