#5 They paid back Lend Lease?

At 2% interest over 50+ years. Inflation paid for the bulk of Lend Lease. A lot of the equipment was sold to the Brits at 10% of cost (scrap rates). They elected to keep the equipment instead of returning it (at no cost) at the end of the war.

#6 Who's this person describing a 2% p.a. 50-year lease as "usurious"?

The NPV for the ships bought under Lend-Lease was hugely positive for Britain and equally negative for the US.
