It's "expensive" in the "right" way. The costs are paid by taxes, which are largely supplied by the 99%. The revenue, by contrast, is privatized, going to corporations owned by the 1%.
So it's only "expensive" for the masses, which lawmakers don't care about.
Not to mention the slave labor they gain out of it.
