Meet the Press interviews for 2023 races: on Budget & Economy


Asa Hutchinson: I plan to reduce federal civilian employment by 10%

Whenever you look at reducing the size of the federal government and controlling spending, I presented the idea, the plan to reduce federal civilian employment by 10%. I can do that because we reduced it by 14% in Arkansas. And so these are specific plans that I present, and it's about the future. It's about the strength of America. It's about our leadership. So no, it's not about the past. It's about the future. And I think that resonates.
