随着通货膨胀的担忧和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的关税威胁继续称重，比特币和加密价格已经下降

随着通货膨胀的恐惧和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的关税威胁继续对比特币价格（以及对新的，神秘的黑客攻击）的新恐惧，比特币和加密价格已经下降。

U.S. president Donald Trump could yet fire Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, a leading Democratic senator has warned as new data showed the U.S. trade deficit widened in February.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）可能会解雇美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔（Jerome Powell），一位领先的民主党参议员警告说，新数据显示，美国贸易赤字在2月扩大。

Nobody is safe, not even the chairman of the Federal Reserve, ” Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren told Bloomberg (NYSE:SPHB) on Wednesday. “If [Trump] can just mow through every civil servant, if he can just mow through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it’s a form of lawlessness and all the power belongs to the king.”

马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）告诉彭博社（纽约证券交易所：SPHB），没有人是安全的，甚至不是美联储的主席。

Senator Warren’s remarks come as Trump, aided by Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) billionaire Elon Musk who’s leading the Doge department of government efficiency in a rampage through the federal government, has gutted agencies, departments and institutions in the mere two months he’s been back in the White House.

参议员沃伦（Warren）的言论是特朗普（Trump），在特斯拉（纳斯达克（Nasdaq：TSLA））的亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的帮助下，他在联邦政府横冲直撞地领导了政府效率，他只有两个月的时间回到了白宫。

After slashing the size and scope of the Environmental Protection Agency and axing programs that help low-income families heat their homes and prepare for natural disasters, Trump has now set his sights on slashing the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was launched in March 2020 to provide small businesses with payroll support during the Covid pandemic.

在削减了环境保护局的规模和范围和斧头计划，这些计划帮助低收入家庭加热自己的房屋并为自然灾害做准备后，特朗普现在将目光投向了削减薪水保护计划（PPP）的目光，该计划于2020年3月启动，在Covid Pandmeam期间为小型企业提供小型企业。

According to a recent report by the Small Business Administration (SBA), the PPP has provided over $95 billion in forgivable loans to more than 11 million small businesses, saving an estimated 51 million jobs.

根据小型企业管理局（SBA）的最新报告，PPP已向超过1100万个小型企业提供了超过950亿美元的原谅贷款，从而节省了5100万个工作岗位。

However, Trump has become increasingly critical of the program in recent weeks, claiming that it is being abused by large businesses and that it is not reaching the small businesses that need it most.

但是，最近几周，特朗普对该计划变得越来越批评，声称该计划正受到大型企业的滥用，并且没有达到最需要它的小型企业。

“The Paycheck Protection Program is a total scam. It’s being used by big companies to line their own pockets, and small businesses are getting screwed,” Trump wrote in a recent post on his Truth Social platform.

特朗普在最近的一篇关于他的真相社交平台的帖子中写道：“薪水保护计划是一个全部骗局。大公司正在使用自己的口袋，而小型企业也被搞砸了。”

The Paycheck Protection Program is a U.S. government initiative to provide small businesses with payroll support during the Covid pandemic.

薪水保护计划是美国政府的一项倡议，旨在为小型企业提供薪资大流行期间的薪资支持。

The program, which is part of the CARES Act that was passed by Congress in March 2020, provides forgivable loans to small businesses in an effort to prevent mass layoffs and keep workers employed during the crisis.

该计划是国会于2020年3月通过的《照料法》的一部分，它向小型企业提供了可原谅的贷款，以防止大规模裁员并使工人在危机期间受雇。

The PPP was later extended and expanded by additional legislation, including the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 and the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Institutions Act.

PPP后来通过其他立法扩展并扩大了PPP，包括《薪水保护计划灵活性法》以及对艰苦的小型企业，非营利组织和机构法案的经济援助。

The PPP is administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), which has approved more than 11 million loans for a total of over $95 billion.

PPP由小型企业管理局（SBA）管理，该管理局已批准超过1100万贷款，总计超过950亿美元。

According to a recent report by the SBA, the PPP has saved an estimated 51 million jobs and helped to prevent a significant rise in unemployment during the pandemic.

根据SBA最近的一份报告，PPP估计有5100万个就业机会，并有助于防止大流行期间的失业率大幅增长。

The report also found that the PPP has had a positive impact on the economy, boosting economic activity and preventing a deeper recession.

该报告还发现，PPP对经济产生了积极的影响，促进经济活动并防止更深层衰退。

Despite the program’s success in providing critical financial support to small businesses during an unprecedented crisis, it has also been the subject of some criticism.

尽管该计划在史无前例的危机期间成功地为小型企业提供关键的财政支持，但它也是一些批评的主题。

Some critics have argued that the program is too expensive and that it could lead to an increase in the national debt. Others have claimed that the program is not reaching the small businesses that need it most and that it is being abused by large businesses.

一些批评家认为该计划太昂贵了，可能导致国债增加。其他人则声称该计划没有达到最需要它的小型企业，并且被大型企业滥用。

However, supporters of the PPP maintain that the program is a vital lifeline for small businesses that are struggling to survive during the pandemic. They also note that the program has been remarkably efficient, with the SBA processing loans quickly and effectively.

但是，PPP的支持者坚持认为，该计划对于在大流行期间努力生存的小型企业来说是至关重要的生命线。他们还指出，该计划非常有效，SBA处理贷款迅速有效。

As the U.S. economy begins to recover from the pandemic, the future of the Paycheck Protection Program remains uncertain. It is possible that Congress could choose to extend the program again if the economic recovery stalls or if another crisis arises. Alternatively, Congress could decide to wind down the program as the economy recovers and small businesses no longer require the same level of financial support. Ultimately, the fate of the Paycheck Protection Program will depend on the political climate in Washington, D.C., and the economic conditions at the time.

随着美国经济开始从大流行中恢复，薪水保护计划的未来仍然不确定。如果经济复苏摊位或发生另一场危机，国会可能会选择再次扩展该计划。另外，国会可以决定随着经济恢复，小型企业不再需要相同水平的财政支持。最终，薪水保护计划的命运将取决于华盛顿特区的政治气候以及当时的经济状况。
