量出为入，强调应收才收、收支匹配，意味著支出决定于职能的实现，预算收入为支出提供保证，但不能据此片面地认为支出决定收入，为好大喜功、脱离实际找借口。

- 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.
