    How many other countries have other pieces of legislation attached to the budget?

        So, you don’t know. And no other country has such a dysfunctional when it comes to their budget.

          The US is far from the only nation with budget fights and dysfunction in that regard. In fact, I would suggest the only nations that never have these fights are authoritarian dictator ships

          Looking it up for you because apparently you’re not able to and you’d rather spin a narrative anyhow, It looks like the problem of non-related riders is more problematic than not; to the point that most sources addressing it only bother to mention places that ban non-related legislative riders. From what I can tell Canada, UK, Austrailia and India are all places that allow it in some way.

          Sorry, not going to do a deep dive here, because even banning riders, deal making around the budget is a normal process. holding budgets hostage is one of the few ways to get controversial things done… and that’s not an exclusive problem to the US.
