The dems are fiscal derelicts that have no interest whatsoever in reducing the debt, they want to crush the economy and destroy the middle class in order to have a government take over of the economy and impose a socialist economic system. The only way out of this mess is to drill oil on federal land sell on open market globally and pay down the debt with the profits. That would not only reduce the national debt, it would also reduce global inflation and the green wokenuts will also have more money to spend on battery powered vehicles. But for whatever reason, the left is hell bent on transferring all the wealth to the super rich and bring further disparity to everyone else.
