ok, here is where you are getting fuzzy about weapons procurement.
everything we use in this war is already paid for. some of it is older than most of the people who frequent these boards. the 61 billion price tag is for replacement parts.
and for service related items, such as food, fuel, lodging. all of which dump shitloads of money into the economy.
and in case you are blind and stupid, the whole US economy is nothing but pure consuming. the more we consume the better the economy. the more the government blows on weapons and such, the more the economy grows.
we can more than afford it cause the spending will just create more money in the tax base.
