House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan defended his budget proposal Sunday, saying it presents a Republican "vision" and is "what people want."

"Our budget is a vision document," the Wisconsin Republican said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "It is...what we think is the right way to go."

Asked by host Bob Schieffer to address the criticism that his budget is old news, since many of the proposals were brought up in previous years, Ryan ticked off key components of his plan - reforming entitlements and closing tax loopholes - and how those ideas appeal to American voters.

"I hardly think that that’s retread, I think that’s what people want," Ryan said.

Asked if he trusts President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, Ryan said he does, but with some reservations.

"I subscribe to the Reagan school of thought, which is trust but verify," Ryan said. "The so-called charm offensive, I think it’s a good thing."

Still, Ryan added that it's an open question whether the president will go back to campaign mode and focus on the 2014 mid-term elections, "or whether he’ll sincerely work with us."
