The debt ceiling will have to be raised just to operate the government. The entitlement programs and the debt servicing costs consume all of the collected tax revenue. Everything else is funded by borrowing including Defense. 43 cents of every federal dollar spent is borrowed.

Kill it. Kill it. We cannot get out of debt by increasing the size of our debt. We are going in the wrong direction, and we cannot reverse course by reducing the speed at which we go in the wrong direction.
I want cuts. I want reduction in debt. I will not support politicians who disagree.
