The correct answer is B) from about 2,000,000 million dollars to nearly 3,000,0000.

During the George W. Bush presidency, the national debt rose from about 2,000,000 million dollars to nearly 3,000,0000.

That is why President Bush realized that in order to pay the United States debt, the government should increase taxes.

During President Bush tenure, he increased the debt by 101% for where it started in 2001. Bush added $5,849 trillion. The money was used to support two wars after the September 11 attacks. The first war was against Afghanistan and the second one against Irak. Both as part of the War on Terror. The War against Afghanistan cost $1.1 trillion and the Irak War cost $1 trillion. Bush increased military spending to $700 billion a year.
