"The key is whether the politician is serious about ending the crisis vs. milking it for political points." Not always. There is nothing wrong with using a crisis to make real reforms. "Like I said, that comment by Timmy about "we need to raise taxes on the wealthy" is straight out of the Dem playbook. Class warfare." Engaging in class warfare and then accusing your opponents of doing it is straight out of the Republican manual. Like "borrow and spend" economics and then accusing the Democrats of wanting to "tax and spend". And then, after adding more than $10 trillion to the debt and only after a Democrat gets into office, deciding that debt is a very bad thing. And to fix it, one of the first things that is done is crowing about record cuts in spending while actually increasing spending by several billion. Throwing more than $7 billion of unasked for money at the military is not the way to cut spending... No doubt made some military contractors happy.
