Having extra money left over seems like the opposite of a grift to me.

Where do you think that money ends up exactly, think it's going to recirculate back into the economy or end up continue being allocated to the Pentagon?

That money was already taxed for the defense budget. It would’ve never been used for anything other than whatever DoD decided to spend it on.

Biden raised Pentagon budget as I recall, and the proxy war was one of the main justifications for that the other being deranged fantasies about having a war with China.
