he said while campaigning .. but I doubt he came into office saying "no new taxes" and passed new taxes three months later.

You can do the campaign research if you really want to know...
which is what I would do if I really wanted to know.

House Approves Clinton Plan to Raise Taxes, Slash Defecit
By Eric Pianin
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON

The House Thursday nightapproved 243-183 the broad outlines of President Clinton's five-year economic plan, a new Democratic vision for reinvigorating the economy and reducing the deficit by $510 billion that would require a huge tax increase, bruising cuts in defense and major "investment" spending.

Under the plan, adopted as part of a multi-year budget resolution, Pentagon spending over the next five years will be slashed by $115.7 billion more than was recommended by President George Bush -- a move that will cause widespread layoffs in the defense industry and fuel additional base closings.
