US Government shutdown averted

This situation comes up regularly and it seemsd a stupid measure foisted upon the long suffering public.
The situation must be tackled differently.
Sure, I do not have the answer. One thing is clear, the US services will shut down again and again in the years to come.
Why don't the public not vote for those politicians who keep voting against funding the Government?

One thing is clear: the House republicans repudiated tRump's demands!!

The package funds the government at current levels through March 14, and includes $100 billion in disaster aid and a one-year farm bill — while stripping out a debt limit extension demanded by President-elect Trump earlier in the week.

On Wednesday, Trump had threatened to primary “Any Republican” who voted for a funding bill without a debt limit extension; on Friday, 170 House Republicans did just that.

“We are really grateful that tonight, in bipartisan fashion, with overwhelming majority of votes, we passed the American Relief Act of 2025. This is a very important piece of legislation,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters after the vote. “It funds the government, of course, until March of 2025. That was a big priority for us.”
