From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Economy Act or in full the Economy Act Agreement for Purchasing Goods or Services was a United States Act of Congress, which the U.S. Congress passed on March 15, 1933. It tried to balance the federal budget by cutting the salaries of government employees and reducing pensions to veterans by as much as 15 percent. It also cut the budgets of government departments by 25 percent. Nearly a billion dollars was saved by these measures.
