Thats not how budgets are set, so they are actually contentious. And they don’t fall under “laws passed”, only modifications are. But regardless, of the 78 laws passed only 5 were around appropriations. Of the remaining 75 they included infrastructure, veterans affairs, trade, hunting, Native American rights, research, workers rights, disaster relief, export laws, internal relations, and crime. So clearly plenty of laws do get passed by Congress despite your claim of a “high bar”. What it really sounds like is laws you want aren’t passed but that somehow supports the idea Congress is broken.
