Actually, if you want to be technical about it, Ronald Reagan gave us TEFRA, since he was the one whose signature allowed its provisions to have the force of law.

What's more, if Bob Dole's advice had been followed, most of the tax increases that were enacted during the 1980s would have been offset by commensurate cuts in "entitlement" programs.
