The problem with that is that dems wanted to use reconciliation (which IIRC can only be done once a year) on the $3.5 trillion house bill that they also can't get to 60 votes for, so they'd have to sacrifice the ability to push other agenda items through in order to raise the debt. So GOP is trying to force Dems to not get the spending package passed so they can go back home and say "See! The Dems did nothing for you! Biden bad!" --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.
