This does mostly mean loaning money to buy from US arms companies, which means more jobs and growth for that very vital and noble sector.

    My impression is that the whole military industrial complex basically exists in order to siphon taxes away from stuff they're meant for such as building infrastructure, providing healthcare, and other public services. Instead, the money goes into the pockets of the oligarchs who own the war industry, and proxy wars like Ukraine are essential for keeping the scam running.
