Perhaps... but that's not their JOB.
Job #1 for congress is to pass a budget. They need to fund the OBLIGATIONS already agreed to by them and the congress's that came before them.
Job #2 is to discuss those obligations and make those concerns from constituents you describe known.
Imagine a future Republican President being told by a small, extreme, wing of the Democrats, via a weak-as-piss Speaker, that he'll need to sign comprehensive gun control legislation to avoid a shutdown of the government.
How does THAT make you feeeeeeeeeeeeel?

Job #1 for congress is to pass a budget. They need to fund the OBLIGATIONS already agreed to by them and the congress's that came before them.
Perhaps... but that's not their JOB.
Job #1 for the naked monkeys is to defend the constitution of this country.
#1a For the House of Representatives to submit to the Senate spending bills. The job of the Senate is to bring to the floor such bills and vote on them, not round file them. ONLY the House can appropriate funds.
#1b is for the House of monkey Representatives to submit to the Senate a budget, the Monkey Senate JOB is to vote on the budget and if the budget passes it is the JOB of the President to either sign it or veto it.
Which the Monkey House is attempting to do, Yet the Monkey Senate and the President "refuse to negotiate." That phrase is straight from the Monkey Senate and the President mouth.
Imagine a future President being told by a small, extreme, wing of the minority party, via the minority party's, but majority of the House Speaker, that he'll need to sign comprehensive gun control legislation to avoid a shutdown of the government.
Pink Biker Joe with a Dawg-Apples and oranges are being mixed here. Now I want a smoothy!

The type of bill you refer to can be brought forth by the House or the Senate, regardless if either Monkey group is in the minority at the time.
How does THAT make you feeeeeeeeeeeeel?
Did your e key stutter?

Feel?
To borrow a phrase and partly plagiarize it some:
Imagine a
future President being told by a small, extreme, wing of the minority party, via their Speaker, but majority of the House Speaker, that he'll need to sign comprehensive bill into law to mandate that all men's gonads get fiercely squeezed six (6) times a year.
....being told by a small, extreme, wing of the minority party
This statement consists of flame words to make a flame phrase which is used to divide the monkeys rather than have the monkeys work together to provide a solution.
