Best Answer

The US had got money to go to war when other countries involved in the war had demanded weapons from America. There was a high demand rate of weapons wanted for the war and the USA was free to make them as they were in the Great Depression and this was a fantastic opportunity for their economy to rise, bringing the great turn around for them...

There were significant tax increases in the 1940s. The federal government also promoted the sell of "war bonds" to help defray the cost. The war bonds, of course, were eventually paid back with tax revenues.

War is typically financed by taxes, though the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were financed by increasing the federal debt. This means the cost was deferred to future generations.
