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.
