An endless crisis is some sort of crisis on the national level where the nation is neither in immediate peril nor able to cease involvement. Such crises are used by the administration to justify enormous expenditures and creeping (or leaping, in some cases) expansion of executive power.
Recent examples include the War on Terror (2001-) (including the US Invasion of Iraq (2003-)), the War on Drugs, and the Vietnam War (1965-1973).
