[Deathstar 80]

Well said, Deathstar 80.

Thanks Ballers!

The difference between the debt accumulated during WWII and today is that the economy following the war boomed and the national debt as a percent of GDP started falling sharply after the war's end.

In contrast, our economy is limping along, teetering on the edge of another recession (if not a depression) but President Obama and his Democratic supporters in Congress think that this country should be borrowing, taxing, and spending even more. The current level of fiscal irresponsibility is unprecedented in this nation's history.

Hoot Gibson, I was just curious. Back around the time of World War II, how did we have a booming economy? Can we do the same thing we did around World War II and have a booming economy today? I know that everyone has different philosophies on how to fix the economy, but I was just curious in what they did back then around World War II.
