One commenter suggests "poison pill", I'd like to go with that.

Poison pill makes sense to me. It does a better job of conveying the sense that the politicians did this willingly, rather than the fiction that this is something that they just came upon. Austerity crisis communicates well the danger faced by the GOP approach. Another description is the ongoing game of chicken. Finally, Norquist soup.
