Yeah cool, but stockpiles are built over years not weeks. Manufacturing happens at a set rate and scaling that manufacturing for sudden replacement is not a small task. US stockpiles won't be back where they were pre-Ukraine for another 5 years and that's assuming they're gonna stop.
Money doesn't make the bombs, labourers in the factories do, and those factories operate at a maximum output based on what they needed before Ukraine happened. Until you expand them their output is limited by that (x bombs per day). And expansion takes time on top of the actual manufacturing itself post-expansion taking yet more time.
In short throwing money at it is only the start of a multi-year process of solving their stockpile problem.
Dwindling immense stockpiles != Empty.
Of course the military needs more funding for stockpile replenishment - when don't they?
Good excuse to park a carrier group off the coast and have reasons for asking for more Naval stockpile replacement cash soon
