Even a 5 year old knows that there's a significant difference between price controls in a supply-constrained market and price controls in a supply-unconstrained market, and that it's intellectually inappropriate to gloss over that difference, and pretend that bank loans that print money up out of thin air are the same thing as, say, automobiles and frozen orange juice.
Centrally controlled interest rates are basically price controls. The govt controls the price of money. Even a 5 year old knows price controls don't work, but we can't expect that from the govt.
