智通财经APP获悉，根据美国财政部周三披露的数据，1月份联邦政府支出比收入高出约300亿美元，明 显低于2025年1月的820亿美元赤字。与此同时，去年12月、11月和10月的财政缺口也较上年同期分别收 窄11%、6%和29%。上述数据均已剔除因节假日或周末导致的收付时间差异影响。 美国财政部最新数据显示，在关税收入增加以及教育、环保等领域支出大幅削减的共同作用下，美国联 邦政府财政收支缺口已连续第四个月收窄。 在具体项目上，多项联邦机构预算出现明显压缩。以消费者金融保护局为例，该机构负责打击非法催债 等侵害消费者权益的行为。在特朗普政府执政下，该机构本财年前四个月的总支出降至1.6亿美元，而 2025财年同期高达22.8亿美元，主要源于人员规模和执法活动的缩减。 教育领域支出也显著下降。美国财政部一名高级官员表示，由于拨付给基础和中等教育办公室的资金减 少，今年教育相关支出同比下降19%。与此同时，环保领域同样遭遇削减，环保署本财年至今的总支出 约为57.2亿美元，远低于去年同期的260亿美元。 从整体趋势看，支出增速放缓是赤字改善的重要原因。本财年自去年10月开始，截至目前，美国政府收 入同比增长约12% ...
