And, BTW, even if Congress did get serious and try to reduce the debt, it would take a combination of the kind of economy that was blooming in 2017-2019 ("Trump's") and a much stricter adherence by the federal government to its limitations in the Constitution. The greatest contributor to the debt has been federal spending on things that the Constitution doesn't give them the power to meddle in.
But we may have to wait till Hell freezes over for that to happen. More likely, what will happen is that we will reach such a financial crisis that the federal government will impose some unconstitutional total regulation and control of society in order to concoct some scheme that will assure its total unimpeded power to "fix" the mess it has created, and from which will evolve the final destruction of the constitutional order and its "outdated" focus on the pesky and selfish notion of individual freedom. And thus usher us into the much desired Progressive/socialistic era of an all powerful and benevolent governmental administration of experts who will ensure, in whatever way they deem effective and efficient, that the people's greed will no longer be allowed to throw society into financial chaos, but rather we will be nourished by government largesse and a people trained into altruism and equal outcomes for all.
