Where has deficit spending brought growth?

WW2 would be a good example: http://neweconomicperspectives.org/2013/08/mobilization-and-...

And just imagine if we did the same thing, except instead of building weapons, we invested in healthcare, education, renewable energy, etc.

Once you understand the money system, you understand that we are drastically under performing compared to our potential because our citizens and politicians have a backwards understanding of our money. reminds me of a great little clip by Alan Watts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-JMHiaYIiU
