Part of the Tea Party’s founding myth, of course, is that smaller government will lead to faster growth and greater prosperity for all. Never mind that the eye-popping growth projections in Representative Paul Ryan’s budget plan, for example, are utterly implausible; these projections matter politically, because, without them, the full sting of Ryan’s proposed Medicare cuts would be readily apparent.
当然，在茶党的原教旨中，小政府可以为所有人带来更快的增长和更大的繁荣。别管保罗·瑞恩（Paul Ryan）众议员预算计划中令人瞠目的增长预测到底站不站得住脚，它们具有政治上的重要性，因为如果没有这些如厕，瑞恩的削减医保大骗局就会暴露无遗。
