It’s so odd that people treat this as if that money has evaporated. It was spent by the US in the US. I don’t know any billionaire defense contractors but I could be wrong. That means the money was spent on workers and equipment. The former creates jobs the later pushes our envelope of technological know-how forward, think DARPA => internet. Lastly the dollar is the world reserve currency. We’re not really paying for every dollar we spend, there is a lot of leverage we have in deciding what countries get to pay what portion of each dollar we borrow. To fight this, is the main reason euro was created and why the European Union came to be. Last I checked Eurozone is not doing so well economically.
