War Has Been Great To America’s Arms Manufacturers
The Top 5 Arms Manufacturing Companies in America have had a great 20 years. War spending is up, and profits continue to increase. Does this War industrial complex benefit from increased war spending? You better believe it. How much are profits up? In the last 4 years, as the military spending has “decreased” these companies profits are up significantly. If these companies, who collectively sell nearly 80% of their goods to the US federal government, have increased revenue and stock prices over the last 4 years, how is it that they continue to increase revenue and profits during this time? Is there something we are not seeing?
