Death spiral? (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vicious circle

(Other definitions for vicious circle that I've seen before include "situation worsened by attempts to solve it" , "situation worsened by attempt to solve it" , "Situation always leading you back to the drawing board" , "from which there's no escape" , "Situation where attempts to solve a problem make things worse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
