I agree with Griff. True, there was a large amount of cash used in Afghanistan, but much, much more went to US industries, Lockheed Martin, Halliburton etc. And those lucky few who got rich then spent some of it on consumer goods and services within the US.
But, as a wishy-washy wimp, I also acknowledge a lot of truth in Merc's point: there were a lot of factors that had little or nothing to do with the WOT.
