Cost plus pricing and War bonds and stamps funded the war.

The United States government vowed to spend whatever was necessary to sustain the war effort. Federal spending increased from $8.9 billion a year in 1939 to $95.2 billion in 1945. The Gross National Product (GNP) more than doubled. Overall, between 1941 and 1945, the federal government spent about $321 billion - ten times as much as it had spent in World War I.
