Because fiscal conservatives and shit.

"Wonk Wire shows that Congress's budget fights, debt-ceiling stand-offs, and spending cuts have cost the U.S. economy nearly 3% of GDP since 2010 - roughly $700 billion in lost economic activity - and raised the unemployment rate in 2013 by 0.6 percentage points, equivalent to 900,000 lost jobs."

Because fiscal conservatism. And shit.
