George H.W. Bush was forced to break his campaign promise of "no new taxes." During his presidency, faced with a growing budget deficit and pressure to address the national debt, he agreed to a budget deal in 1990 that included tax increases. This decision alienated many conservatives and contributed to his loss in the 1992 presidential election.
