I dont quite understand but it sounds like youre saying the money used to research atomic fusion and inevitably the A-Bomb was better spent on more munitions, tanks, planes and troops to go in - increasing US casualties by (they say) 500,000-750,000 men - but anyways 0 this post is about what if's - not undo's

Nope, it has to do with the game , not history. What that is all about is the dance of "It was built before end of the war" (say the P-51H) being answered by "Your 555 aircraft built and delivered before the end of the war and in full mass production did not see combat, so you can't have them, but the UberWolf UW650 can be added to the game, cuz one of the three built did".
When the use of the bomb is brought up (built and used in combat before the end of the war), "game balance" is used to keep it out.
So the "And if we drop

the BOMB stuff, the Allies get that $50 Billion back to play with." is to remind people about all the other projects that were pre end war but on the back burner or stopped as they were not needed due to the bomb or the inevitable end of Germany in the war.
