"It doesn't work" is itself an argument that doesn't work. Especially because, historically, the government is going to come in and fuck things up worse. Hell, that was basically the creation of the Federal Reserve; "Hey, the economy isn't working, put us in charge!" Yeah, no.
For many people, "It can't be solved" isn't an acceptable answer.
Yeah, but people not finding it acceptable, again, often leads to very bad things. Because some things are really hard to solve, and this is one of them. Throwing the government at it is just going to make it worse. "We must solve this issue that is super complex and probably not immediately solvable" tends to be the leftwing answer. It shouldn't matter if the people find it acceptable or not, it should matter if the proposed solution will actually fix the problem. If it won't, let's not implement further totalitarian control just to make people happy because we're Doing Something.
