Probably because it often works, which is why both Biden and Trump have imposed prescription drug price controls, why Bush imposed energy price controls, and why Nixon and FDR imposed across the board price controls. The last time we were seriously threatened in a war we did it; the last time we faced an inflation crisis we did it; and we’re doing it now with arguably the most expensive good for the fastest growing part of our population (seniors). If it doesn’t work, why do we keep doing it whenever we are in crisis?
