It would need a better economist than me to be able to say whether our economy has suffered from that war (I seem to remember from my history classes at school that it was probably the case that the US benefited from being at war in the 40's).
In any case, my point was that the cost of the war was small relative to the (direct, god knows about the indirect) cost of borrowing to support the banks.
