Coping with the War At home

The OPA is the Office of Price Administration which fights inflation of the economy by freezing prices of goods. The OSRD was the Office of Scientific Research & Development. They were scientists that were brought into the war to find new ways like new technology to defeat their enemy. Americans were rationed during the war on many everyday needed items such as gasoline, shoes, food, etc.. Today, we are lucky to not have been rationed during the war in Iraq and Afghanistan like WW2. In WW2 people were rationed on gasoline and food, todays society would freak out if that ever happened again.
