It needs to be said and broadcasted as much as possible. Trust me there are a lot of morons in this country. Many of them are senators and congressmen.

Gridlock is not new. We've been experiencing that for over 8 years. He's right about education and infrastructure, but this is who we are right now. We have perpetual wars going on, a massively dysfunctional health care system, billions in student loans, at least 2 global hotspots that could explode into full fledged war, racial and political divisions, and on top of that a POTUS who has made making offensive remarks normal and acceptable. WTF does this guy expect to fix all that? So he's embarrassed - who give a frick.

JPMorgan’s earnings beat Wall Street estimates, with profits rising to $7 billion in the second quarter, up 13 percent from a year ago. Earnings per share increased to $1.82, ahead of the $1.58 a share expected by analysts


that was a very nice beat. yet the stocks off nearly a point which is a text book case of buying on anticipation of the news and sell on the news.

Didn't JP Morgan take $20 + billion in the 2008 Bank Bailout.


I don't think much choice was given in the matter behind the scenes and their takeover of Bear Stears was somewhat of a forced marraige to help stem the tide. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they came off bad, they came out of the crisis in a better position than ever, but their "acceptance" of the bailout money wasn't entirely on them. The world was about to implode in that moment in history and public/private coordination was not normal.

All that aside, his point is certainly valid. He doesn't seem to have been speaking from a "woe is me" perspective, but from a business perspective with respect to the economy as a whole, not just JPM.

Actually, JPM was forced to take $25 billion...paid it all back to the Fed Gov't plus 2 billion dollars in interest a year later.

All the banks took fed money and almost all paid it back.

JPM bailed other banks and the country out at its own expense.

Finally, Jamie Dimon has come out as a Trumpocrat.

He supported Obama for 8 years but these comments clearly support what Trump is trying to do. The Democratic Party as it stands today is not a party of growth and ideas but of identity and social engineering. The problem is that Dimon truly is a capitalist and the Dems of today are not compatible with that mindset.

I haven't really seen evidence that Trump is trying to do these things. For me, that's been by far the most disappointing aspect of his presidency so far.

He can't even get a majority of his appointments through committees. He is facing obstruction from Dems and establishment Republicans. I don't blame the man for not being able to accomplish his goals. He is fighting the swamp every single day. He has stated that tax reform and infrastructure are on his to do list. He has stated that tax reform would come after fixing O-care. That battle is still being fought.

true, but it doesn't matter because the trustees of Social Security and Medicare said this week that they are running out of money in 2034 and 2029 and not one fricking person in DC batted an eye as far as I can tell

while CBO scores that are historically pathetically wrong get hyped to the Heavens because they are a way to keep from reducing an entitlement a tiny insufficient bit
