Hella there is a lot more to it than that, the House is passing bills to fund the entire government but Obamacare, the Senate is refusing to pass it, Obama threatens Veto.
The House is doing it's job the Senate not so much.
Would you appropriate more funding for a bill that looses $67 Million Tax payer dollars that the IRS can't locate that was funded for Obamacare? The Treasury department audited the IRS on ACA and found this below, click link and read.

On top of the US Government does not need a debt ceiling raise, it can pay the interest on its outstanding debt with the taxes it collects daily. The only reason the Senate wants it raised is to spend more money.
Look at it this way, you have maxed out your credit card and are paying just the minimum to cover the interest charged but can't use the card since the balance goes nowhere and your at the max. If they raise the limit they have to raise taxes in order to pay for that. Time they tighten the belt, (makes cuts) and start paying down the debt. Wish I could have a 1.7 trillion dollar credit card.
I have a few credit cards and had high max limits, when Obama went into office they cut those limits down, fortunately I live within my means and didn't need that. However, I did call one to see about getting it increased for a purchase they refused to increase it so I paid cash instead and closed the account. They have bugged me ever since with all kinds of offers.
