The rationing of food helped the US send food to England and the troops. The rationing of fuel and oil assisted the war to fly planes, move ships and vehicles. The rationing of clothing and other things allowed companies which normally manufacture goods to change their manufacturing plants into war armament plants. It also allowed clothing and shoe companies to make uniforms, coats and boots for the troops.
The same thing held true for Canada, England, New Zealand and Australia

During World War II, many women grew "Victory Gardens" at home to bolster the rationing of goods, since so much was diverted to the troops.
After war was declared following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans experienced quite a few changes to their lifestyles. The country's industries geared up to produce goods for the war effort. This resulted in rationing of some things to the people at home, such as gas rationing. Another huge change was, with the men gone to war, many of their jobs were filled by women who held them until the war ended.

to help the war effort
It was necessary to save resources for the war effort
It was established to support the war effort of WWII, we had nothing in this country, rationing took place and was very successful with all commodities going towards the war effort. It was done with pride not like today 2013.
They were all part of the sacrifices Americans made for the war effort.
No, there was no rationing in korean war
According the the government in WWII, rationing was necessary, because most of the country's resources had to go to the war effort. However in reality, it was a ploy to get the American people behind the war effort. Everybody had to pitch in and do their part and make sacrifices and limiting the amount of goods a person could buy was a means of doing this.
During World War I, rationing was reduced simply because of the shortages of foodstuffs and other economic items caused by the war-effort. On both sides of the conflict, the naval and land (and even air) dimensions of the war caused normal importation and/or production of everyday items either to stop altogether or to be severely diminished, thereby causing shortages of one kind or another.

Rationing.
the OPA set up the rationing system. Families were issued coupons to be used for buying scarce items such as meat and gasoline. Most Americans cooperated with the rationing system. They also bought war bonds and collected goods, such as tin cans and paper, that could be recycled or reused for the war effort.
