Temporary shutdown averted. Does this mean a future fiscal crisis is guaranteed?

A future fiscal crisis is guaranteed unless they get serious about the deficit. Last fall the "compromise' tax bill increased the deficit for 2011 by nearly 1/2 trillion and now they nearly shut down the government over a difference of less than 10 billion.So far it has been nothing but theater to convince the voters they are doing something so no one will notice that they are not.
