The principal reason the Federal government spent so much money during the Bush administration was to fight the War on Terror.

During the War on Terror, the US economy, far from benefiting from oil as some intentionally prophesied, has had to face the enormous war costs, aggravating the economic crisis that the country suffered later in 2009.

During his two terms, Bush increased the federal government's public spending from $ 1.799 trillion to $ 2.983 trillion, while revenues increased between 2000 and 2008 from $ 2,025 to $ 2,524 trillion.
