Trump last night marveled at how in 1942, we were putting out a B-24 an hour. And yes we were. We also were a war economy in 1942.

We also had a full 10% of the population (all able-bodied men 18-34) in uniform on battlefields. State-sponsored childcare centers, so moms could work 60 hours a week. Income tax started at 25% for low earners, up to 92% for the top-bracket. Profiteering (by factory owners) was a 10-year prison sentence.
