Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies.
The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits.
This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud.
See the pattern?

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.
"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...
Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.
Vile.

"That is why Elon’s commission looks, sounds, and smells like a sham. Because thus far, the biggest beneficiaries aren’t working class Americans, but rather Elon Musk himself. You don’t get credit for rooting out abuse if your execution raises more questions than it answers."
Elon's fraud search exposed as a fraud
DOGE is supposed to root out waste, fraud, and abuse-- but thus far, it's only served Elon Musk's personal interests.

Donald Trump tried to illegally shut down funding for programs that millions of people rely on.
Community health centers, Head Start programs, and charities are still having trouble accessing funds.
Meanwhile, the taxpayers are paying for Trump's trip to the Super Bowl.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.
