Summary
This quote highlights a cynical view on government programs, suggesting that World War II was the only example where a government initiative achieved substantial success. It implies that, in the speaker's eyes, subsequent government programs have largely failed to live up to their intended goals. The statement could reflect a belief that during times of crisis, governments are able to organize and accomplish tasks effectively, while in peacetime they struggle to achieve the same level of success or efficiency.
