Why is Stockman wrong when he writes that "US actually didn’t borrow its way out of the Great Depression; it saved its way out"

As I documented in The Great Deformation, total public and private debt at the end of 1938 amounted to 210% of GDP, but by the end of 1945 it had dropped to 190% of GDP.

”Det som satte stopp för trettiotalsdepressionen i USA var ett massivt underskottsfinansierat program för offentliga arbeten som kallas andra världskriget”.
