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.

These measures aimed to generate revenue and control inflation, while also fostering a sense of shared sacrifice among the population.
