No. Congress needs to do its job, which is passing bills to fund the allocations it's already made. Doing your basic job is not negotiable.

Negotiating about legislation you don't like has to be done in the proper setting, not through holding the country hostage.

'Everything I want' is for these people, who work for WE, THE PEOPLE, to DO THEIR JOBS and fund the government. No other issues should be addressed until they stop holding a gun to everyone's head.
