Somebody help me out here

I'm so confused. The Americans might not be able to agree on a budget by midnight tonight which would result in all federal public services ceasing to function and federal workers not getting paid (except elected officials of course)?! I don't understand. When our budget doesn't pass, we have an election but I can still do things like file my taxes which will still be processed by the CRA, regardless of whether we have a government or not. What the hell America??? I need an American to explain this to me.

Also, I feel really bad. A woman stopped at a cross walk for me right outside my office and then was immediately rear ended by some idiot who was totally tailgating. Admittedly, it's a crappy crosswalk, hidden around a blind corner where people routinely go 60kmh (in a 40 zone). Shitty way to start the day - for her, not me. I still got my latte from the Starbucks across the street.
