I had to check to verify that government spending did dip after WWII. It did but not for many years. The reason prosperity continued after the war was that the most of the industrialized countries had suffered huge losses to their manufacturing capability. USA didn't have competition in a lot of areas. When the Germans started exporting VW's and the Japanese Toyotas, the jig was up.
