Is finally doing what we should have done a long time ago better that not doing it? Absolutely

So ... it quite literally is progress. Not enough progress, but progress none-the-less.

Hey guys, we're doing that thing we should have done a decade ago, and your taxes are paying for the extra interest accrued and the billion dollar company my buddies put in charge of it will face no charges for financial crimes!

I know, dude. I agree with you that it's not enough, and the media needs to do better. I'm just saying let's give him due credit for what he has done, because the opposition will almost certainly regress if given the chance.
