Some info please. If a Balanced Budget Amendment ever goes through, whereby (spending = revenues), do you ever need to borrow money again? Do you then even care what Moody’s or S&P says? Just wondering.

No, there will be automatic tax increases each year, in whatever amount it takes to balance the budget.
That is why I know that eventually there will be a BB amendment, so that they can raise taxes automatically.
