Can the debt ceiling be raised via reconciliation? If so, then why even bother playing chicken with the fascists?

The blue team cannot suspend the debt ceiling if they do it that way [reconciliation], all they can do is increase the ceiling by some large number. If they do it, then McConnell and his party will weaponize that to the Nth degree next year, arguing that the Democrats’ spending is reckless, and that they have been compelled to dramatically increase the national debt in order to pay for their socialist legislation.
