OIf they were no longer unemployed the were actually working fo the above
mentioned benefit there for they were not FREE

By raising the national debt to levels that would not have been
substainable at that time were it not for WWII
> We raised taxes and borrowed every nickel of the money needed.

> America prospered!

No it was not real proserity it was a psuedo-socialist solution to a
problem
> America's standard of living actually improved during WWII.

There was rationing of nearly everything that is not a equivilent to a
higher standard of living
> So how do we apply the lesson learned during WWII?

It was a war  involving the entire world against militarist agressive
regimes
Do you really want that kind of destruction again

The employment you talk about is  way of creating massive national debt
It was actually the after math of the war and the pent up demand from years
of, as you put, austerity and privations of war that finally ended the
depression
