[define "is"]

Yes, it is now. However, should they have stayed out of it in the first place and let the markets do their jobs, we'd be better off in the long run. Then again, this is a "need it fast, need it now" society that can't stomach even a year of economic downturn without someone "doing something". Even if that "something" puts you in worse shape than you were before, all that matters was that somebody was doing something and it made us all feeeeeeel better.
