It is a philosophy and a budget that aim to put the U.S. back on track toward fiscal sanity and toward the uniquely American vision of limited government at limited cost. As Rep. Ryan's introduction notes, "Effective government is impossible without limits. It is no surprise that trust in government has reached all-time lows as the size of government has reached all-time highs...."
