There was a huge recession at the end of WW2. The economy contracted by 17%. However, the private sector began to rebuild as millions of servicemen moved into the workforce. We helped our European allies rebuild with Marshall Plan. We had 3 budget surpluses in 1947, 1948 and 1949. After that, the economy grew faster than the national debt. By 1970 the national debt was only 37% of GDP. We can so the same thing again that we did in the past. Grow the economy and keep spending low levels.
Just in case I’m right buy some food to put away. You will remember me well for the advice.
