=Paying for the war=

the United States had to raise taxes in order to pay for the war, but the government encouraged the citizens to eat less so they could send it over to aid the war effort. The government also encouraged the use of car pooling to save gas as well as money. "War bonds" were also used in an attempt to pay off the Great War's expense, in where citizens would buy into these "bonds." This money would be used in the war and reimbursed once The War was over with an added sum in contrast to how much was paid into it.
