True, everything has unintended consequences. Some are worse than others, though. And some unintended consequences can be worse than the current situation, even when the current situation is flawed.

You're falling for the "politician's syllogism": Something must be done, this is something, therefore this must be done. But it's called a syllogism because it's flawed logic. The worse the situation, the more important that we do something that actually helps, not just some random something.
