Because "We the people" allow it to be so.
But I do not think that "we the people" allow it to happen, it is almost like no matter who we put in office nothing changes, Even though I agree with you you have to ask

How does it continue to operate at such large loss every year? A business cannot sustain life if it does, what make the government any different? If you only make for example 50k a year and it costs you 75k to 100k to operate pretty soon if not right away there is no money for anything? And as I said before taxes can only go so far so where does the rest of it come from?

Like a Condo assoc it can only operate for so long in the negative before it becomes defunked, no matter what the members pay into it
