These days, historical perspectives and hard economic facts don't seem to have much place in electioneering. That's one reason that neither Dems nor GOP are presenting this kind of info to the electorate:-

As with WWII, Coronavirus will be pushing many countries to new national debt peaks. Unfortunately for the US, Trump has already nudged the debt up to WWII levels, and as the graph is dated April 2020, the startling effects of CV bail-outs may be still to come: I imagine that they will show as a vertical line going off the scale, but let's not worry, someone else will be picking up the tab, I suppose.
