IIRC the plurality of US debt is held be social security, so the people whining about the debt are creating 2 problems out of nothing.

And not raising the debt limit means not paying the interest to social security funds and thus destroying it. I think some republicans see it getting two birds with one strike. Destroying the social security funds and wrecking up u.s. economy while democrats hold the white house. Perhaps getting some nice golden parachute from russian or chinese oligarchs.
