Actually, the US recieved less than 1% of the total bill for lend-lease. The US spent somewhere around $20 Billion, in 1942 dollars, on lend lease shipments. This figure is the total of all lend-lease. Britain herself recieved more Lend-Lease goods than the USSR did, plus goods shipped to China, France, etc.
How America made great profit from this, I fail to see. The US footed the bill.
