This chart shows that neither party really cares about raising our debt...


Since 1980, the debt ceiling has been raised 39 times. It was raised 17 times under Ronald Reagan, four times under Bill Clinton and seven times under George W. Bush. Congress is currently in a contentious debate with the White House on whether to raise the ceiling by the Aug. 2 deadline, which would make the fourth raise under Obama.

It's always been a mix of both parties getting drunk on debt, no matter who is in charge of the White House, Senate or House of Representatives.

Everybody is out to fuck US citizens. The quarreling Republicans vs Democrats show is just a distraction.
