Definition Of A Crisis

Not a crisis:

Senate rejects unemployment insurance and Medicaid extension.

Screw you unemployed people! With unemployment (U3) at 9.7% jobs just grow on trees!

Crisis:

The Social Security trust fund will run out of assets in 2037, and will only be able to pay 75% of its benefit obligations until 2083.

The obvious solution to this dilemma is to invade Iran or some other country that is looking at us funny.
