I wonder if its a mixture of supporting the business sector (or the ownership class), or if politicians up for election simply don't want to run against them in addition to their opponents?

We're about to spend approximately a third of our annual budget, after considering it for less than a week, and everyone - Republicans and Democrats - are just rushing it through, as if we wouldn't notice.
