Best Answer

The federal debt increases because Congress increases the debt ceiling. They do so because they want to spend money to help their constituents and so get them votes. Anything popular will do. in the case of George W. Bush, the object was the war in Iraq and Afghanistan which was motivated by the attacks on the world-trade center and the pentagon.
