We need to budget a decade at a time, and we can still leave it up to adjustments annually

The difference is essential shit will always be paid, if they can't agree to adjustments for that year, it defaults to the long term plan.

Every fucking year we run into this these days

I both agree with you and disagree. I agree that having a long term plan (beyond one year) would be amazing, but I disagree that essential things will always be paid. That is actually true, you are right, but the problem is that these other things that are, essentially, essential, will become nonessential. They just do not get done. And both the "customers" and the employees are expected to deal with it. It is a public-private pipeline. I hate it. For openness, I am a federal employee.
