Actually, it was selling arms to the allies before we entered WWII that got us out of it. We didn't enter the war until the allies ran out of money.
Actually, we didn't recieve enough compensation from them before we entered the war to matter. (See Lend/Lease)
Britain still has not paid back the debt they owed and most of the oter debt that was owed to us was in the form of land for military bases around the world. The only payment that comes to mind was a shipment of gold from Russia. I believe that was all before they were folded into Lend/Lease.
