Before this the GD just slagged on, no stimulus, then a little, then a few big shots but nothing with any balls. Once they finally stood up and did it, it was over. Of course taxes have to go up to take that money back, can't bottle neck that flow.
The war was the biggest reason for the pullout from the depression. It took federal money to inject and get the war operations up and running, but it was the fact that Europe was destroyed and needed to buy things from America after the war to rebuild that gave a huge rise to the US and the economy.
