We seriously need a law that prevents this stupid shit from happening again. Maybe if they don't pass funding, we just renew the last passed funding

What we do in Australia is of the government can't pass a budget we dissolve the government and go for elections.
Clearly the MP are not doing their jobs so make them run for their jobs again.

That works in a parliamentary system, because the state and the government are two different things. In the U.S. system, they are functionally the same thing. We can't dissolve the government, or we'd have to rebuild the entire state apparatus from the ground up.
