One of these days, soon I hope, we'll all just stop paying.... Then what will they do? They don't know how to grow a garden, or set up an electrial grid, or fix thier own car, or how to take care of a horse.... Hell, they probably don't know how to go to walmart and buy their own toilet paper!
I bet Jamie Dimon would probably be able to figure out how do all those things better than most of us If he had too. These guys get where they are because they always figure how to get things done. Doesn't mean I approve of what they do or that their compensation is in line with their contribution.

I agree with what you say., i truly despise the Jamie Dimon's of the world. I also believe his type has so much drive that success will come to them no matter the circumstances. That's why he is the CEO of the most powerful bank in the world and we are the ones typing in this forum. I wish the system was such that his talents would be used for the good of the country instead of the behavior you describe above. Our brightest minds are being wasted.edit on 24-1-2013 by sligtlyskeptical because: (no reason given)

(Weill gave Dimon his first job)
Dimon's father, Theodore Dimon, was an executive vice president at American Express. The younger Dimon came to Weill's attention when Theodore passed along an essay that Jamie had written.

There is no point indulging in rhetoric or venting anger against bankers. They are what they are.
The focus should always remain on the politicians...they are the enablers.
If the political will was there, these institutions could be dealt with overnight.
But let's face it...look around you...you have been born in an asylum.

He kind of has a point. Banking, like jet engines, is complex. Now, aircraft are heavily regulated by the FAA, operators undergo continual training and medical evaluations, and every time a jet goes down (which is very rare) the NTSB is all over it. So the logical conclusion is, we need to heavily regulate banks and have some kind of National Banking Safety Board get all over them every time something goes wrong.

Fractional reserve banking is complex to understand...."smoke and mirrors" while obfuscatory are easier to understand in principle. It all depends on whether one is seeking to enlighten or cloud the issue.
