> So far as I can find the last time Congress bothered to pass a budget was 2016 with the prior one in 2010.

The last time Congress passed a budget was for last fiscal year (FY 2023):

It was about three months late, but they passed it. This year's is currently at least about four months late, and the federal government is currently operating under a continuing resolution that will expire in March. However, full-year continuing resolutions are rare: the budget bills are usually passed, but passed late.
