JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon lashed out at U.S. government policy during the company's quarterly earnings conference call on Friday.
在星期五的摩根大通公司季度財報電話會議期間 ，摩根大通CEO傑米·戴蒙猛烈抨擊了美國政策。
'It's almost an embarrassment being an American citizen ... and listening to the stupid s--- we have to deal with in this country,' Dimon said.
戴蒙說:“作為一個美國人，聽著大家談論美國人對國家做的各種各樣的蠢事，這簡直太丟人了。我們們必須處理好這個國家存在的問題”
Dimon was answering a question from UBS analyst Saul Martinez about whether political gridlock seemed likely to stunt the nation's economic growth. The CEO, regarded by many as the country's foremost banking executive, took it as a chance to deride U.S. policies,which he said are hindering faster expansion.
戴蒙回答了UBS（瑞銀）分析師 Saul Martinez提出的美國政治僵局是否可能會阻礙國家經濟增長的問題，戴蒙作為摩根大通CEO，被大多數人視為國家最重要的銀行高管，他回答說這會阻礙經濟更快的發展，並借此機會嘲笑了美國的政策。
'I was just in France. I recently in Argentina, was in Israel, was in Ireland. We met with the prime minister of India and China,' Dimon said. 'It's amazing to me that every single one of these countries understands that practical policies that promote business and growth is good for the average citizens of this countries, for jobs and wages, and that somehow, this great American free enterprise system, we no longer get it.'
戴蒙說:'我剛剛去過以色列、愛爾蘭、法國和阿根廷，也跟中國和印度的總理見過麵，這些國家都深刻認識到，促進商業和經濟增長的實際政策對本國的普通公民是有好處的，能促進就業和工資增加，我們沒有意識到，美國曾以自由企業製度為傲，但現在我們毫無優勢。“
'The American business sector is powerful and strong, and it's going to grow regardless,' he went on. 'What I'm saying is, it will be much stronger growth had we made intelligent decisions and we were not gridlocked.'
他繼續說道:'美國的商業界是很強大的，不管怎樣，經濟都會成長。我的意思是說， 如果有更聰明的決定和更少的僵局，那將是更強勁的增長。“
Specifically, Dimon cited U.S. corporate tax rates and a lack of progress in modernizing the nation's roads, bridges, airports and other transportation infrastructure.
戴蒙專門列舉了美國的企業所得稅稅率和國家道路、橋梁、機場、其他交通基礎設施缺乏現代化進展的問題。
Some corporate chiefs have been pushing for a so-called tax holiday, something President Donald Trump has floated as a way to encourage companies with large overseas holdings to bring profits back into the U.S.
有的公司主管一直推行被稱作免稅期的政策，而唐納德·特朗普總統提出的一個辦法是鼓勵持有大量海外股份的公司將利潤重新帶回美國。
Many experts say letting U.S. multinationals repatriate their foreign profits is unlikely to spur economic growth. The last such holiday, in 2004, coincided with a large outflow of employment as corporations moved jobs to low-wage countries, federal data have shown.
很多專家說，讓美國跨國公司把海外利潤帶回國並不能刺激經濟增長，在2014年——最近的一次這樣的政策期裏，聯邦數據顯示同時發生了工作崗位大量流向低工資國家的情況。
JPMorgan Chase reported better-than-expected earnings last quart，er, at $1.71 per share. UBS' Martinez rated the stock a 'buy.'
摩根大通通報上一季的收益好於預期，每股收益1.71美元，瑞銀分析師 Saul Martinez將摩根大通股票評級為“買入”。

Dimon thinks our roads and bridges are crumbling, but wants a tax holiday. Guess he thinks you and I should pay for the tools he needs to make a profit.
戴蒙認為我們的道路和橋梁都坍塌了卻想要免稅期，我猜，他一定是認為你和我該為他需要賺錢而買單。 Fares002 @YukonJack66 ? 18 hours ago

I see this consistently from conservatives, which makes me think they stopped at 101. Macroeconomics doesn't teach crap about fiscal policy or tax repatriation schemes. Maybe Liberty University, however...
我看到了保守黨人的頑固，這讓我覺得他們停留在基礎經濟學，宏觀經濟學是不會教有關財政政策或免稅的廢話，也許自由主義大學會教，然而…… janeric123 ? 21 hours ago +7
It seems that the CEOs like most business people mention helping the average worker. Then, just talk about corporate tax breaks. They already pay at a lower rate than I do. Some pay no taxes.Helpling the average person is just a talking point to make rich people look better.
似乎首席執行官象大多數商界人士一樣提出幫助普通工人，然後，隻談減免公司稅額，他們現在所交的稅率已低於我所交的稅率，有的人還根本沒交稅。幫助普通工人隻是停留在口頭上的觀點，以讓富人看起來更好。 cjs_cnet_xyz ? 6 hours ago +6

We're embarrassed too but because of having Trump as president and greedy CEO's who have no social conscience like you Dimon. Why don't you just retire to one of your many homes and count your money.

One should be proud to be an American citizen; never an embarrassment. What is an embarrassment for the USA is the current collection of sleazeball politicians (especially Trump) in charge. Not that we've never had any in the past, but the current administration ranks below swamp level.
每個人都應為自已是美國人感到驕傲，從來不會覺得丟人。現在尷尬的是美國處在卑劣的政客（特別是特朗普）集團的看管下，不是我們過去從未有過這種事，而是當前管理水平太低。 markusopinion @MJEA ? 17 hours ago +4

Anyone who thinks making the rich - richer, will create jobs just doesn't read history much. Eight years of that idiot Reagan and his 'trickle down economics' proved that. There is absolutely none - zero - evidence that making rich people richer creates a single job.
有人認為，讓富人更富有將創造就業崗位，這樣想隻是太不了解曆史，白癡裏根和他的“涓滴經濟學”用了八年時間證明了這一點，絕對沒有任何證據可以證明富人更富可創造一份工作。 JerroldV @mc130ip ? 17 hours ago

By vocational school I don't mean only simple stuff like brick laying. I was in a vocational school in Berlin for Graphic Design for three years. Not only was it free but I also got a stipend from the Government because I come from a single parent family and lived alone in Berlin while my family lived in Hamburg.
Won't happen in your country because you believe the communist devil is whispering in your ear.
我說的職業學校不是簡單的教授像砌磚一樣的技能，我在柏林的一所職業學校學習了三年的平麵設計，不僅是免費的而且我得到了政府津貼，因為我來自單親家庭，獨自一人在柏林生活而我家在漢堡。

JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon says 'it's almost an embarrassment being American'
Mr Dimon said he wished the US invested more in infrastructure Getty
The chief executive of the US’s largest bank has voiced his frustration with political gridlock in Washington and said it was sometimes “an embarrassment being an American citizen”.
His bank reported a profit of $7.03bn for the second quarter, 13 per cent higher than last year. It has made $26.5bn over the past 12 months, a record profit for a US bank, according to the Associated Press.
Despite that, Mr Dimon had colourful words for journalists and analysts who participated in a conference call to discuss his latest results.
“It’s almost an embarrassment being an American citizen travelling around the world ... listening to the stupid s*** we have to deal with in this country,” he said. “At one point we all have to get our act together or we won’t do what we’re supposed to do for the average Americans.”
Mr Dimon also called on the media to focus less on the the quarter-to-quarter changes in his business, and look at larger issues, such as infrastructure, the opioid epidemic, taxation and jobs.
“[The media] should be writing a lot more about that the stuff that is holding back and hurting average Americans. Who really cares about fixed-income trading in the last two weeks of June, I mean seriously,” he said.

He paid particular attention to the issue of infrastructure, comparing the US’s failure to invest, particularly when compared to the situation in other countries.
“I was just in France. I recently in Argentina, was in Israel, was in Ireland. We met with the prime minister of India and China,” said Mr Dimon.
“It’s amazing to me that every single one of these countries understands that practical policies that promote business and growth is good for the average citizens of this countries, for jobs and wages, and that somehow, this great American free enterprise system, we no longer get it.”
He added: “The American business sector is powerful and strong, and it’s going to grow regardless. What I’m saying is, it will be much stronger growth had we made intelligent decisions and we were not gridlocked.”
