    • To measure government's revenues according to its expenditures emphasise collecting taxes only when necessary and balancing the budget. The principle implies that the expenditure should be based on a function's implementation, and the revenue guarantees the expenditure. The principle cannot be unilaterally interpreted as the expenditure decides the revenue, making excuses of craving greatness or being out of touch.
