I'm not certain relying upon the example of WWII.

In and prior to WWII, the US economy was young and vibrant, the society was not unaccustomed to want and many perished. Economically, WWII saw many of our chief economic rivals, Britain, Germany, France and Japan have industries ravaged and devastated by war. We were the only virtually untouched industrial giant.

WWII analogies don't provide me much solace any more.
