The economic indicators aren't suffering right now.

I guess the answer would be because you have to spend your way out of a recession, and now that we're out of it deciding to reduce our revenue while adding to the debt doesn't make much sense. 

Then there's the concern that lowering our revenue while hoping that companies share the wealth and discouraging home ownership over renting will make us vulnerable to another recession that we'll be less prepared for.
