4/ if demand is high but price is low, the market WILL equibrilate...usually by increasing price on other axises (e.g. "wait time on lines")

5/ Anyone who lived through 1970s remembers price caps on gasoline, so demand > supply, which lead to rationing, which lead to long lines

6/ When gov supplies X, you have a monopoly supplier of X. There is no pressure to keep quality up. Don't like the DMV? Go to the other DMV!

9/ Plus it's a ton of fun to roll out a new X. Studies, parties, mailers. FUN! Maintaining the X is less fun. No parties. No celebrities.
