Jamie Dimon on GDP: President Trump’s Economic Policies Have ‘Accelerated Growth’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DIMON: "Competitive taxes, we needed competitive taxes. The way the American public should think about it, for 20 years we’ve been increasingly uncompetitive driving capital overseas I’m talking about small businesses if you sat down one day besmall businesses they’ll tell you about the crippling bureaucratic paperwork litigation, and we’ve had less small business in America than any other recovery. This has accelerated the growth. The reason it wasn’t 40 is a lot of things we — so I’m hoping continue our policies and accelerate growth. And growth is good for all Americans."
REPORTER: "Is 4% sustainable?"
DIMON: "I think we could do a lot better than 2% it was bad infrastructure, bad taxation, excess regulation, we don’t give kids the skills we need, we have an opioid crisis take bureaucracy, it takes 12 years to get permits to build a bridge that’s already there and failing and it took eight years to put a man on the moon so the American public looks at this stuff and says that’s what’s holding us back, it’s us."
