Hoover Says 10 Percent Federal Cut Would Help Save Billions
Former President Herbert Hoover says the government could reach 3 to 5 billion dollars in annual savings and reorganize with 10 percent fewer civilian employees without mass firings. He cites research from the commission on executive-branch reform and notes Congress faces political resistance from vested local interests and citizen groups. Public opinion, Hoover argues, is key to enacting reforms. He also discusses pressure on Congress to protect agencies and the potential of natural turnover to achieve the cuts.
