"Hey everyone! The trillion a year we're spending on war hasn't actually given us a sufficient stockpile for actually fighting a war even though we start them all the time. That should all be a problem of the past if you only give me a mere 1.5 trillion more."

It's astonishing -- especially compared to the "bang for the buck" that Russia gets for its MIC money.
We need to hire Russian managers for our factories. :-/

The "investor class" would probably not be happy with efficiency. The money can't keep going in their pockets if you actually use it to make weapons.
