==World War II==
−
On the economic side of the war there was the formidable task of producing the mountains of materials necessary for the war. That was done by American industry. This was an industry of epic proportions that had been created and developed long before the [[New Deal]] ever came into existence.  And it was, in fact, that very industry upon which all the engines of scorn and demonization of the New Deal had been focused, and which appointees of President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] like [[Rex Tugwell]] and [[Henry Wallace]] and their underlings wanted to liquidate. This industry was operated by financiers and administrative leaders who had developed the resources of the nation, who had invented and perfected the technical processes, and who had built the factories and machines which turned out guns, planes, tanks, cars, ships, arms, munitions, food and all the accouterments and necessities of war. They were told what was wanted and they supplied it. New Dealers such as Rex Tugwell, [[Harry Hopkins]], [[Leon Henderson]] and Henry Wallace had nothing to do with this production.  It was the hated business man whom New Dealers spent years demonizing who produced what was necessary to win the war.

There were in truth very little war profits for honest men because the government during the war drained away in drastic taxes most of the profits. <ref>''The Roosevelt Myth'', John T.
