How did the government try to manage the skyrocketing national debt during WWII?

During World War II, the U.S. government sought to manage skyrocketing national debt primarily through the issuance of war bonds, which encouraged citizens to invest in the war effort while also helping to finance military operations. Additionally, the government implemented higher taxes, including the Revenue Act of 1942, which expanded the income tax base and increased rates for higher earners. These measures aimed to generate revenue and control inflation, while also fostering a sense of shared sacrifice among the population.
