Because most people don't understand this sort of stuff so the only people who understand how corrupt it is are the people who benefit from that corruption. The politicians sure as heck aren't going to stop the unions that donate millions of dollars to their campaigns. It's much easier to just issue a few billion more in debt and stick the future taxpayers with the bill.
