Hoover Furlough Plan Wins in Senate Economy Measure
The Senate approved a final economy bill adopting Hoover’s furlough plan that withholds pay for civil federal employees on a month and five day week for daily workers. Savings estimates range from 120 to 159 million dollars, far short of the committee’s 238 million goal. Opponents argue the plan reduces savings and shifts taxes to balance the budget.
