I hope the shutdown ends soon so I can pay taxes.

Congress can end the shutdown tomorrow, if 2/3rds of the House & Senate are willing to vote on a spending bill. The executive branch is unnecessary.

They shouldn't agree with something that no one wants.

They could have passed it when the Republicans were in Congress.

Only if the House and Senate leaders decide to put the vote to the floor. Even 100% (less one) support is powerless if they can't vote on it.
