Again, I'm not discounting the role spending is playing. I'm simply noting the role played by the loss of revenue from Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. For some reason, you want to ignore the latter.
Also, a lot of this spending that relates to the debt limit comes from spending that Trump and Republicans endorsed.
I've told you that I'm open to spending cuts. Not cuts to Medicare or Social Security, but other reasonable areas of spending cuts, sure. Defense waste spending? Absolutely. Reforms to these programs, sure. Just not cuts.
You are the one defending the wealthy and corporations at the moment, not me. You jump on board with this and we could probably fashion a compromise. But you won't will you?
Craziness.
