Please tell me how kicking the can down the road/increasing the debt ceiling is good in the long term?

In life people often need to make short term sacrifices in order to realize long term gains. What I see the POTUS/left doing is giving short term gains at the price of long term sacrifice. The right needs to come off this we won't tax the rich more stupidity and the left needs to wake up and understand they are fukking the youth and all of us with debt. Yes the right increased the debt but that's water under the bridge and they are not in power so don't bother to bring that up.
