You knuckle-heads. Corporate profits belong to Apple, Google, Amazon, MSFT -- they are in the DIGITAL SPACE. By law, DoD contractors can't retain Fat Profits. They are under continuous audit. Should any contract be crazy profitable, the excess has to be promptly rebated back to Congress. The high expense for DoD contractors is WAGES. That's where all of the money is going. That's also why such contractors spread the action across the nation -- hopefully making it Congressionally impossible to stop the gravy train -- and the gravy is going out as WAGES to voters in every Congressional district.
Even more strangely: American taxpayers actually don't pay for the DoD's outlays. We 'export' the tab to our trading partners. This reality is something that THEY fully understand, Putin fully understands -- and the CCP fully understands. It's driving them crazy!
How can that be? It's the direct consequence of the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944. The US government runs deficits to fund the DoD -- and the rest of the planet has to eat such deficits by importing US dollars that cost the US government nothing to produce -- by the billion. You will find, if you're as smart as you think you are, that the American government has been financing its DoD outlays for half-a-century by this mechanism. It's also why Germany, et. al are bitter about Trump et. al complaining about Europe not paying their fair share to defend the West. But they ARE. They've actually exported their security to the Americans... and the Americans have exported their security expense to Europe, Japan -- and every other nation that has to use the US dollar as its Reserve Currency... a need than never goes away. Moscow and Beijing are TRYING rather disparately to stop this funding mechanism. Their project has been going on for decades. Their current hope is that digital currencies will finally do the trick. The latter, functionally, are synthetic GOLD. Yes, the Commies are going to fall back to the Gold Standard -- to get rid of Bretton Woods -- which was established to, largely, get rid of the Gold Standard -- deemed to the primary financial cause of WWII.
If any of this is news to you -- you've got some reading to do.
