World War 2 huh, hmmm, off the top of my head that was right after the GREAT DEPRESSION. The deficit was grown by FDR to pay for his New Deal, in an effort to get record unemployement stopped. Some would say that if FDR didn't spend that money, the people would have been more worried about feeding their family than protecting the country from the Jappenese, and that we may have lost the war. I don't think anyone would say that if Bush didn't give a tax cut to the rich that the poor wouldn't still be fighting in Iraq.
