We should certainly consider proposals that aim to ameliorate the problem, and weigh their costs and benefits. But we should not presume that there’s somehow a moral imperative to Do Something. In fact, there’s a moral imperative not to do something that’s likely to make matters worse.
Unfortunately, our politicians are wired to do something, even if it’s the wrong thing or a stupid thing.
