Financial adviser Frank Reilly spoke to VOA via Skype, "So if you're a business and you are about to hire 100 new employees, but you are not really sure what's gonna happen with the debt ceiling, you're gonna wait until that situation has passed. So as Congress is bickering, it's really kind of like pulling back the reins on the horse and not letting the horse run."
The last budget battle in 2011 resulted in the first credit downgrade of U.S. debt.
Although investors continued to buy U.S. bonds, Marc Goldwein at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says another downgrade could damage U.S. credibility.
"A downgrade from 'Triple A' to 'Double A' by itself doesn't usually have that much of an effect. It's basically saying instead of your bond being really good, it's very good. That's basically how they qualify it. The danger is - what about the next downgrade, and the next one?"
House Speaker John Boehner admits the consequences of not increasing the debt limit are real, but he says - so too are the consequences of allowing the country's spending to go unchecked.但分析人士称破坏已经造成。
财政顾问弗兰克•赖利通过Skype对美国之音说，“如果你是一个企业，你正打算招聘100名新员工，但你不确定债务上限会有什么变化，你只能等，直到危机过去。所以当国会不停争吵时，就像雪上加霜，令事件毫无进展。”
上次2011年的预算之争导致美国债务第一次信用降级。
尽管投资者继续在购买美国国债，尽责联邦预算委员会的马克•高德温说再一次信用降级可能会破坏美国的信誉。
“自动从3A级降到2A级通常不会产生那么大的影响。基本上来说不是你的债券好得没得说，而是很好。这基本就是他们定性的方式。危险在于--下一个降级会怎么样？再下一个呢？”
众议院议长约翰•博纳承认不提高债务限额（会引起的）的后果是真的，但他说，放任国家支出不管也会引起同样的后果。
