Hoover Maps Temporary Tax Plan to Balance 1933 Budget
President Hoover proposes a temporary tax increase modeled on the 1924 revenue act to balance the 1933 budget. He cites a 1931 deficit of 902 million and projected 1932 1933 deficits totaling 4.442 billion, with net debt rise of about 3.247 billion. The plan envisions a two year tax rise ending next July to raise roughly 920 million next year, offset by spending curtailment and statutory debt retirements.
