    It’s not only about money, it’s about productive and logistical limits which have been reached. All the money in the world isn’t going to make more 152 mm Soviet artillery shells appear from thin air for Ukraine, who needs millions per month to keep up with Russia.

    There’s a finite limit to the amount of war production the US can do in the short term, and it has heavily deindustrialized domestically so supply lines rely on imports from China and other countries

      While this is true, I fully expect them to just keep throwing money at the “problem” in the hopes that will fix it. Just another quick 200 billion, no biggie. Oh wait, here’s another 70 billion! And so on, forever, even if not a single artillery shell gets built with that money, gotta prop up the MIC!
