It is time for the Senate to end this madness. People should not be held hostage over this.

Since the GOP controls the Presidency, and all the Congress, it is incumbent on you to compromise with the Democratic party in order to open the government.

I think it is legitimate to ask that ACA subsidies be continued since we seem to have the money to build a ballroom, send billions to Argentina, possibly bail out the farmers (maybe even ranchers), and maybe even pay Trump's former legal bills.

Tired of excuses - compromise and do your job.
