Which is such a strange issue, considering the 14th amendment states:

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law[...] shall not be questioned.
The debt ceiling is not new spending its financial obligations that both parties in the past have already passed and signed off on. If they waned to cut spending they should have not voted for past cost or n the first place.Not raising the debt ceiling is like refusing to pay youre mortgage.
