4. It wasn't a crisis but became a crisis.

There are consequences if bills aren't paid, interest rates go up, checks don't go out.

Alternatively it's a crisis if Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are systematically and incrementally pared down. Even a future democratic majority in both Houses won't be able to return them to their current status.
