[Star Wars] How exactly does the senate ordering 5 million more clone troopers help the republic in clone wars season 3?

In clone wars season 3, there are a few epsiodes about how the senate wants to bankrupt the republic so they can order more clone troopers. All the senators in support of it talk about it like it will immediatly fix all their problems. But it takes at least 10 years to grow and train a clone trooper so how exaclty does this help them? Does Kamino just have 5 million fully trained clones just sitting around and the republic just needs to pay for them? Or would it actually jave done nothing and the whole thing was just part of palpatines plan to destroy the republic?

This right here. Ordering more troops was just a good sound byte, a measure of political grandstanding to make it sound like the government was doing something, even if it was functionally useless. The seemingly endless conflict of the Clone Wars made many senators vote out of fear rather than logical deliberation. It's why they eventually cheered when Palpatine declared himself Emperor, because at the time, it seemed like the best way recover from the war and prevent another such conflict from happening again. 

But at the same time, having it go through would mean the Republic's budget, which was already on a heavy war footing, would become even more dedicated to a war economy, which is exactly what Palpatine wanted for his Empire.
