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财报电话会议期间 ，摩根大通CEO杰米·戴蒙猛烈抨击了美国政策。
'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.
戴蒙说:“作为一个美国人，听着大家谈论美国人对国家做的各种各样的蠢事，这简直太丢人了。我们们必须处理好这个国家存在的问题”
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（瑞银）分析师 Saul Martinez提出的美国政治僵局是否可能会阻碍国家经济增长的问题，戴蒙作为摩根大通CEO，被大多数人视为国家最重要的银行高管，他回答说这会阻碍经济更快的发展，并借此机会嘲笑了美国的政策。
'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.'
戴蒙说:'我刚刚去过以色列、爱尔兰、法国和阿根廷，也跟中国和印度的总理见过面，这些国家都深刻认识到，促进商业和经济增长的实际政策对本国的普通公民是有好处的，能促进就业和工资增加，我们没有意识到，美国曾以自由企业制度为傲，但现在我们毫无优势。“
'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.'
他继续说道:'美国的商业界是很强大的，不管怎样，经济都会成长。我的意思是说， 如果有更聪明的决定和更少的僵局，那将是更强劲的增长。“
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.
戴蒙专门列举了美国的企业所得税税率和国家道路、桥梁、机场、其他交通基础设施缺乏现代化进展的问题。
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称作免税期的政策，而唐纳德·特朗普总统提出的一个办法是鼓励持有大量海外股份的公司将利润重新带回美国。
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.
很多专家说，让美国跨国公司把海外利润带回国并不能刺激经济增长，在2014年——最近的一次这样的政策期里，联邦数据显示同时发生了工作岗位大量流向低工资国家的情况。
JPMorgan Chase reported better-than-expected earnings last quart，er, at $1.71 per share. UBS' Martinez rated the stock a 'buy.'
摩根大通通报上一季的收益好于预期，每股收益1.71美元，瑞银分析师 Saul Martinez将摩根大通股票评级为“买入”。

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.
戴蒙认为我们的道路和桥梁都坍塌了却想要免税期，我猜，他一定是认为你和我该为他需要赚钱而买单。 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...
我看到了保守党人的顽固，这让我觉得他们停留在基础经济学，宏观经济学是不会教有关财政政策或免税的废话，也许自由主义大学会教，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.
似乎首席执行官象大多数商界人士一样提出帮助普通工人，然后，只谈减免公司税额，他们现在所交的税率已低于我所交的税率，有的人还根本没交税。帮助普通工人只是停留在口头上的观点，以让富人看起来更好。 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.
每个人都应为自已是美国人感到骄傲，从来不会觉得丢人。现在尴尬的是美国处在卑劣的政客（特别是特朗普）集团的看管下，不是我们过去从未有过这种事，而是当前管理水平太低。 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.
有人认为，让富人更富有将创造就业岗位，这样想只是太不了解历史，白痴里根和他的“涓滴经济学”用了八年时间证明了这一点，绝对没有任何证据可以证明富人更富可创造一份工作。 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.
我说的职业学校不是简单的教授像砌砖一样的技能，我在柏林的一所职业学校学习了三年的平面设计，不仅是免费的而且我得到了政府津贴，因为我来自单亲家庭，独自一人在柏林生活而我家在汉堡。

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.”
