A race car driver is about to crash. Should the driver

A) speed up
B) slow down
C) turn*


* Turning with no other action means the driver will eventually hit the wall or spin out in the grass.

I think that's a poor analogy. There is nothing the driver needs to do while turning. While waiting for additional tax revenue to come in, a state must continue to pay bills, so must borrow, raise taxes, or cut spending.
