Harold Moulton's pamphlet attacks only the theory of deficits without limits, does not attack all government deficit spending. He does not try to prove that government debt is bad; he does insist that it must be controlled. In doing so he has given enthusiastic spenders plenty to think about, plenty to answer...
...year the U.S. produced 11.25 billion yd. of cotton fabrics - an alltime high that kept U.S. looms at practical capacity. But consumption was enormous too: the nation went into 1943 with retail stocks of fabricated cotton (2.96 billion yd.) barely equal to the year before.

Example: when washing-machine production was stopped just as women went to work in war plants, there was no home-front voice to insist upon more repair parts for washing machines or to argue that laundries are essential...
