Yes, because generating infinite amount of debt is fashionable now. All that Republicans try to do is to stop the US from following Venezuela's footsteps. Unfortunately, it might already be too late for that.

No, they don’t care. It’s merely a political weapon they use to hurt their opposition. There’s no strategy beyond signaling to their base.

How many times was the debt limit raised or suspended under the last republican administration (or the one before that, or the one before that…).

Or how about this one, who raised the debt limit more? Reagan or Obama? Fun fact, that would be Reagan.

Perhaps this isn’t a partisan issue.
