This is being proposed as a means of saving the world's economies,
especially those heavily dependent on defense spending.  We get everyone
employed building automated warfare equipment, unemployment goes down, we
cancel the sequester that everyone seems convinced is ruinous, use the extra
(borrowed) money to pay automated defense contractors, let the robots duke
it out until they destroy each other without harming humans or flowers,
economy steams along, all is well.
