[Rob Base 2.0]

Didnt he have a hand in messing up the economy a few years ago? Didnt he take a bailout from dysfunctional gov?

IIRC (and I may not) Chase and BoA did NOT want to take the bailout funds.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) directors paid Chief Executive Jamie Dimon $28 million in total compensation for 2016, a 4 percent bump from the prior year, the company said on Thursday. www.reuters.com/article/us-jpmorgan-dimon-compensation-idUSKBN15336N

Things are certainly bad.

I don't see anything wrong with what he said. Basically it boils down to "DC gridlock hurts the economy." Which is true.

Why wouldn't he say that?  It doesn't matter who loses... it keeps him from getting richer...

It is only true when they aren't passing pro-business policies. There is plenty of criticism when they are passing things that make things a little harder on businesses. He said he wanted less regulation, tax cuts and infrastructure spend. I'm sure you can see how self-serving those items would be. He didn't say he wanted diplomatic missions in North Korea, reductions in military or increased compliance to the Paris according - all of which would be action in DC, none of which would help his business.

Gridlock in DC is not 100%, univerally, always damaging to the economy. Sometimes them doing nothing would be helpful.
