The Senate took the first step to end the government shutdown on Sunday after a group of moderate Democrats agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies, angering many in their caucus who say Americans want them to continue the fight.
In a test vote that is the first in a series of required procedural maneuvers, the Senate voted 60-40 to move toward passing compromise legislation to fund the government and hold a later vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits that expire Jan. 1. Final passage could be several days away if Democrats object and delay the process.

These members of the Legislature need to do their jobs and forget political parties and remember Who they are supposed to represent and who voted them into office, that is us, the voters and American citizens. I fail to understand how all the states and territories can continue to operate without closing down but the Federal government can't ! Seems to be one of many problems that both the Legislative and Executive branch are failing in their duties and We as Taxpayers are the victims.
