The idea that war is going to be so much more affordable if close air support is done with strafing runs than LGBs, is just a bafflingly wack understanding of the military budget's breakdown. Close air support is just one specific role, in one specific branch of the military. Even if 30mm shells were free, it would not appreciably affect the military's budget.
