特朗普新官上任即削消費者金融保護局經費




特朗普任命的消費者金融保護局代理局長停止資金撥款,暫停部分監管

特朗普選擇的羅素·沃特(Russell Vought)在接管消費者金融保護局(CFPB)僅幾天後,已實質上終止了該機構的運作。

沃特在2月9日的X平台上表示:“我已通知聯邦儲備局,CFPB將不會進行下一次未撥款資金的提取,因為這並不是執行其職責所需的‘合理必要’。”他補充說:“該局目前的資金餘額為7.116億美元,在當前的財政環境下實際上是過剩的。”

CFPB的成立旨在監管金融公司,如銀行和匯款公司,以防止它們參與濫用和掠奪性行為,這些行為曾導致2008年金融危機。該機構還接受有關美國加密貨幣交易所的投訴。

CFPB也成為加密貨幣行業的攻擊目標。2023年,該機構曾提議監管加密錢包提供商,但在去年底最終確定規則時被迫放棄這一想法。儘管如此,科技貿易團體上個月對CFPB提起訴訟,指控該規則是“非法的權力奪取”。

根據路透社2月9日的報導,沃特還向CFPB員工發送了一份備忘錄,要求“停止所有監管和檢查活動”。《政治報》報導稱,該郵件告訴員工停止所有調查,不開展任何新調查,並停止發布規則、指導和任何公共評論。

據報導,員工們還被告知CFPB的辦公室將在本周關閉,他們必須在家工作。

CFPB的資金來源於對聯邦儲備的預算請求,這與其他機構通過國會的典型撥款過程不同。

沃特表示:“這個長期導致CFPB缺乏問責的資金來源現在被關閉。”他還負責白宮管理和預算辦公室,並於2月7日被任命為CFPB局長,接替財政部長斯科特·貝森特(Scott Bessent)。

金融監管倡導組織Better Markets的聯合創始人丹尼斯·凱勒赫(Dennis Kelleher)在2月9日的聲明中表示,特朗普正在把自己的支持者“扔給金融狼”,試圖“殺死CFPB”。

他說:“這一最新的試圖摧毀消費者局的行為,對所有依賴基本金融產品和服務的美國人來說又是一記耳光,尤其是對那些幫助特朗普當選的多民族工人階級聯盟的美國人。”

評論

特朗普政府的這一舉措無疑引發了對消費者金融保護的擔憂,尤其是在金融市場不穩定的背景下。CFPB的成立本是為了保障消費者的權益,防止金融機構的濫用行為,現在卻因政治考量而遭到削弱,這不僅影響了普通消費者的利益,也可能對整體金融體系的穩定性造成潛在威脅。

此外,沃特的言論中提到的資金過剩問題,似乎掩蓋了CFPB在監管和保護消費者方面的必要性。當前的經濟環境中,金融欺詐和不當行為的風險依然存在,CFPB的角色顯得尤為重要。未來若缺乏有效的監管機構,消費者將面臨更大的風險,這不僅是對特朗普支持者的背叛,也是對所有美國人的不負責任行為。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.
