From something I read it actually increases the debt because they borrow money instead of using tax money.

By definition the deficit is the amount of borrowed money for that given year.

Lol they care enough about the deficit to cut their own programs and spend trillions on the military. Right.

Cutting down the deficit by eliminating programs while still overspending on the military shows that their priorities are out of whack and that they're more concerned with using submission as a way to seem cooperative than actually doing anything about the deficit.

That's not caring about the budget, especially when you only care about the part of it that's politically expedient for you to care about.

How can you attempt to balance the budget while throwing vast amounts of unnecessary money at the military?
