‘Road to Hell for America’ JP Morgan Chase’s Jaime Dimon – What’s Necessary for Protecting Affordable Housing – What to Know as 2022 Midterm Early Voting Starts

“We finance Americans’ ambitions with loans for homes, autos, and growing a small business, and provide valuable products and services to more than half of American households.” So said JPMorgan Chase’s CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon in recent testimony to Congress.

During a Congressional hearing, Representative Rashida Tlaib (MI-Democrat) asked: “Please answer with a simple yes or no, does your bank have a policy against funding new oil and gas products, Mr. Dimon?”  Rep. Tlaib’s inquiry to JP Morgan Chase’s chief executive came after she layed out net-zero plans that require a shift away from fossil fuels according to a report in OilPrice, the Washington Examiner, and others in media.

 

“Absolutely not, and that would be the road to hell for America,” Dimon said in response. He went further, as well, saying the U.S. needed to invest more, not less, in oil and gas.

“We aren’t getting this one right. The world needs 100 million barrels effectively of oil and gas every day. And we need it for 10 years,” Dimon said, adding “To do that, we need proper investing in the oil and gas complex. Investing in the oil and gas complex is good for reducing CO2. We’ve all seen, because of the high price of oil and gas — particularly for the rest of the world — you’ve seen everyone going back to coal.”

 

 

How Some Public Officials Play the Game

Some public officials make bold promises but put the fulfillment of those pledges’ years into the future. By the time the promised outcome deadline arrives, the official may have moved onto other things. An example with respect to housing – or the lack of affordable housing – is exemplified in this following tweet.

 

 

Needless to say, homelessness in San Francisco and other parts of California exploded since that promise by now Gov. Gavin Newsome (CA-D) was made. It is but one example of the difference between nice sounding promises vs. actual outcomes.

Back to JP Morgan Chase’s top executive, MHProNews in a report on 9.23.2022 noted the following about Dimon.

From the report linked above, is the following pull-quotes.

“JPMorgan CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon, gave a darker than normal [economic] outlook. Dimon said that Americans are currently being “crushed” by inflation,” per the NY Post in its report about Wednesday 9.21.2022 testimony to Congress.

Per Dimon, “We finance Americans’ ambitions with loans for homes, autos, and growing a small business, and provide valuable products and services to more than half of American households.”

He said it should have been obvious that the sharp boost in federal spending was going to fuel inflation. The amount of monetary and fiscal stimulus was so large; how could it not drive more inflation and thereby higher rates,” said Dimon according to the Economic Times.

Dimon has described himself as “barely a Democrat” or more famously said: My heart is Democratic, but my brain is kind of Republican.””

 

Income, Economy, Interest Rates, Costs Are All Part of the Affordable Housing Mix

It should be obvious that buying a home or keeping the one you have requires having enough income, an adequate credit rating, a healthy (i.e.: manageable) debt to income ratio and other factors in balance.

In that mix, public policies by government officials clearly matter. Banker-business leader Dimon grasps that and reflected that in several of his recent remarks.

The Trump era foreign and domestic policies produced economic growth that raised the boats of millions of Americans, with numbers leaving poverty for greater prosperity. The graphic below from CNN reflected a sharp rise in the incomes of Americans. While incomes are continuing to rise under Biden, inflation has eroded the value of the dollar. The cause of that, per Dimon and others, is runaway spending. As Dimon said: “The amount of monetary and fiscal stimulus was so large; how could it not drive more inflation and thereby higher rates?”

Economic data reflects that most people under Biden are now losing ground again, vs. gaining ground under the Trump-era policies.

CNN is not a pro-Trump media outlet, but using federal data, this graphic from their news company reflects the upward trend of income following President Trump’s enactment of the tax cuts and jobs act. It is worth noting that Democratic President John F. Kennedy Jr. did similarly. Income and productivity also rose. During the Reagan Administration, former Democrat turned Republican Ronald Reagan cut taxes with a similar outcome as Presidents Kennedy and Trump. Facts matter.

 

The sobering reality of inflation trends is reflected in the graphic below. Note that housing is broken out in the trend line below as pointed out by the orange arrow.

 

What’s Needed to Effect Change Away from Current Policies

To effect change, voters will have to 1) turn out to vote and 2) know what to vote for and against. For those who like current policies and their impacts, voting Democratic is how that is accomplished. For those who oppose most of the economic and interlaced policies that JCN and others have spotlighted, they should vote Republican. Not voting is essentially a vote for Democrats as that is a status quo stance.

According to Vote.org, SD, VT, VA, WY starts 45 or 46 days before the midterm election. Other states will follow soon.

According to a Washington, D.C. based advisor to non-partisan AMAC Action on 9.22.2022, the following insights are from recent polling. That advisor told AMAC delegates that some of the polls focus on likely voters (LV) while others are registered voters (RV). He said that LVs are what matters more as they are motivated to go vote. Per that metric, Republicans could gain 4 U.S. Senate seats and could swing from being in the minority to being in the majority in the House by some 35 members. These 3 screen shots from that roughly 25-minute briefing this writer for MHProNews attended tells the tale.

An advisor told AMAC Action delegates and chapter leaders that some of the polls focus on likely voters (LV) while others are registered voters (RV). He said that LVs are what counts more as they are motivated to go vote. Several media sources have mentioned that even a sizable percentage of Democrats are disillusioned with current policy outcomes, such as sharply higher prices driven by inflation, the higher cost of gas from 2 years ago, the higher cost of housing, etc. While Democrats do better with those who favor abortion, per a recent NBC News poll, Republicans do better on the economy and controlling the border, NBC said.

All on Capitol Hill were welcoming and interested in the discussion of manufactured housing-related issues in our 12.3.2019 meetings. But Texas Congressman Al Green’s office was tremendous in their hospitality. Our son’s hand is on a package that included a copy of the Constitution of the United States and other goodies. MHProNews has worked with people and politicos across the left-right divide.
