几十年来最大规模！美国多家最高金融监管机构又成特朗普裁员新目标

Group 1 - The Trump administration plans to lay off over 2,300 employees from major U.S. financial regulatory agencies, marking the largest scale of layoffs in decades [1][3] - The affected agencies include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are responsible for overseeing banks, exchanges, and public markets [3][4] - Supporters of the layoffs argue that this is part of a broader initiative to reduce the size of federal agencies and loosen regulations to promote economic growth [3][4] Group 2 - Critics warn that the reduction of examiners and investigators may lead to inadequate regulation and increased financial risk, especially amid market volatility caused by Trump's trade policies [4][5] - The FDIC has reported a surplus of $74 billion since 2015, indicating that these agencies are self-sustaining through fees and fines rather than taxpayer funding [5][6] - Historical trends show that staffing levels at regulatory agencies fluctuate based on political priorities and market demands, with a noted lack of examiners following recent bank failures [5][6] Group 3 - The Trump administration is also attempting to cut the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by approximately 1,000 employees, with rumors of a potential closure of the agency [6][7] - The CFPB has been a contentious political issue, with Democrats supporting it as a necessary check on corporate power, while Republicans criticize it for lacking accountability [7][8] - A temporary injunction has been issued to halt the CFPB's layoff plan, although around 200 employees have already been let go [8]
