  • In 2011, Ryan introduced HConRes 34 - "Establishing the budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2012 and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2013 through 2021," known popularly as the Ryan Budget Bill. It passed the House on April 15, 2011.[1]
  • The "Path to Prosperity" budget proposal created by Ryan and the House Budget Committee in 2012 supported limiting spending. According to the report, "Restoring spending discipline in Washington is a necessary precondition for economic growth and job creation."[2]
  • In May 2008, Ryan introduced HR 6110 - the Roadmap for America's Future Act of 2008. He proposed a balanced budget by changing "the Congressional Budget Act to make it out of order for the House or Senate to consider any legislation that would cause: (1) an excess spending amount; or (2) aggregate federal revenue levels exceeding a specified percentage of revenue relative to the Gross Domestic Product, unless so determined by a vote of at least three-fifths of the Members voting, a quorum being present."[3]
