The US borrowed over $1 billion for war spending; US manufacturing went up by 50 percent between 1939 and 1941. Although, in total, the US increased deficit spending to over 120 percent the gross domestic product (GDP), the end of World War II marked the beginning of the greatest economic boom America had ever experienced, providing the single greatest real-world example of successful Keynesian economics. The US GDP almost doubled from 1940 to 1945 and over 98 percent of the US population was employed, a record that still stands today.
