They're all tied in to the military-industrial-political complex of the USA and are thus an integral part of the country's wealth generation, job creation and technological dominance.
You see, the economy of the USA since 1945 has been based around an essentially Keynesian conception of economics based on using fiat currency (money created out of thin air, deficit financing) to stimulate what is at its core a centrally planned war economy of a kind first pioneered by the Germans and Japanese in the 1930's. However, for some reason they insist - erroneously - on calling this American form of corporatism a free market, capitalist economy even though such an economy was proven to have been such a total failure that it needed bailing out (the New Deal), state regulation and world war to save it from itself and has never been quite the same since.
The USA has had it good these last fifty years, however, it now faces stiff competition from China and renewed competition from Russia - often referred to as state capitalist but pretty much variants of the US model - that appear to be increasingly more successful, possibly because their economies have a solid foundation built on manufacturing which the USA has neglected in favour of services, banking and war).
