Eli5:Why are people constantly trying to raise minimum wage instead of trying to lower the cost of living?

I dont understand why they are trying to take it so high its just going to make everything more expensive why not work on lowering the price of everything such as food , rent  all the stuff???

That would involve the government forcing companies to have limits on their prices which would be a much larger infringement on economics than forcing employers to pay their employees more.
