"...the US won WWII they were after all the only country that came out better than when they went in."

Incorrect. After WWII the US was financially depressed, as you'd expect after years of massive unproductive spending and millions of unemployed soldiers returning from overseas. What made the difference is that FDR's socialistic meddling was then largely swept away, allowing the economy to perform efficiently. Within three years it was moving along just fine, thank you.
