When things go bad government should intervene to protect people. These steps are always going to be extraordinary, because the situation is extraordinary, but it is the very role of government to apply necessary fixes without false pride for any economic or governmental models.

Of course, questions as to how one ended up in a bad situation have to be asked. Underlying issues should be fixed.

But when things get out of hand, when extraordinary action is deemed necessary to adjust for an untenable situation, it is not only right but paramount to take action.

As is with all issues, people will disagree with any specific course of action. By all means, vote to that effect.
