Almost all of the money is beng spent in the US tho'. US army personnel wages, US defence purchases are exclusively American. Re-supply. US contractors buying US equipment using US supplied building equipment.

About the only way money money is actually spent away from USA is buying fuel and supplying bribes.

If they built anything in the US, that wouldn't be US jobs cos they'd pay illegals to build it (cheap labour) and the chinese to supply the kit (cheap goods).

yes, but (none / 1)

the money is spent once and then disappears, whereas if it were spent on civilian use in the economy, it would be recycled back in.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
