would US debt get another downgrade in next 52 weeks also??Most likely; but rpivate sector business is not hostage to that nonsense, even with increased vol............

Your response is a incoherent as ever. But to be clear, discretionary spending has decreased by 40% over the years. And the main increase to the deficit in the last couple of decades was the Bush and Trump's tax cuts for the rich and corporations; Democrats have diminished the debt when they were in office relative to Republican increases; for instance Biden has diminished Trump's massive debt increases by 2/3rds. If we rolled back the Trump tax cuts that would fix much of the current spending issues. Another way to visualize the reality versus the rhetoric is visualizing federal interest payments on the debt as a percentage of GDP.
