The war machine has grown so huge and corrupt that the entire value they extract from the rest of the world goes directly to the military so they can keep operating. At some point it has to collapse on itself.
It's more like they're so comically unaccountable that they can just demand whatever amount of money they want no matter if it'll be used for military spending. The Pentagon can't account for most of its assets, literally trillions worth of stuff, and I imagine it's the same story for the rest of the MIC.
