“We don't have data a thousand years from now, a huge cockpit with all the numbers and automatic stabilizers, the payroll taxes and investment tax cuts or tax credits. And we're still learning how to run a modern economy.”

“Exactly, but even big data can be moved there. So we will be able to see as states raise their minimum wages, tell you what it does to employment and spending. So, if you can prove with big data that raising it 10% improves both employment and spending, well, then it's a no-brainer. If you can improve that 20%, it reduces employment. Matter of fact, you can look at states that have various types of tax codes and tax things and say, this one seems to be helping business. And jobs, and this one doesn't, including healthcare, you could be doing that. So I think a lot more can be applied to come with good public policy. You can have a dream a thousand years from now. They're going to look at what we do with fiscal policy and monetary policy a little bit like bleeding the patient in healthcare like they did a couple hundred years ago.”

“No, but it's not the technology. I was talking about earn income tax credit. Real analytics can actually probably show, we actually have JP Morris Institute, which we do real analytics, so we can go city by city and see what actually happens and credit card spending, debit cards spending as minimum wages go up, as oil prices go down. So I'm saying if you designed a great earned income tax credit, far better than the one today, because there's multiple flaws that we have today, broader today so it can apply to individuals. Not married families. It could be more like a negative tax, it's automatic”

Of course, there'll be some downside to it, which we should fix with training. And a hundred years from now, it'll be four or five times where they are today.

“We've had our own problems with the government Look, they have always made one very important case that this should not be decided by a judge or jury, which will be decided differently everywhere. It's a very complex case. It really should be decided by the Congress, by legislation, and to do it right, you really need to get the people in the room who have deep knowledge about Civil society data privacy misuse of data privacy, you know, what these backdoors really mean, all those various things because there are real issues here. And I don't think it should just be made out of anger or something like that.”

“I know, but I think we're educating people the wrong way, and we're going to end up driving public policy the wrong way. And we need leader to lead. That means explaining things to people and then coming up with policies that fit the downside of it. There are downsides to a lot of things, but you don't want to stop them all. There are downsides to flying. People die every now and then. Do you want to stop all air flights? Their downsides to pharma Sometimes they're misused. Do you want to stop using pills?”

“Okay, and so again, I understand the fear, but we need our politicians to say, okay, let's get the good part of technology and fix the bad part. A great story one day that someone, oh, Milton Friedman was walking through Vietnam or China or something like that, and they were building a road. And they were building a road with shovels. They said, Why are you building a row with shovels? You can do it so much faster with less people with backhose, which you have. And the person said, Ah, Mr Friedman, that's a very good question because we want the employment. And Mr. Friedman said, Well, that's great. Why don't you do it with spoons?”

This could take another one or two billion dollar people out of property. Fix the problem that it does create, acknowledge it, and then fix it. And again, that's education, training, income assistance, retraining. Exactly.”

“Look, I hope, I don't know if it's going to die down. I hope that policies are made not because of populism, but they're made because they're going to help the very people the populace are talking about. There are rational collaborative policies. You go all around the world. You know, I meet presidents and prime ministers. There are things that work. There are things that don't work, okay? And you can see evidence of this in Venezuela, Argentina, East Germany, most of Eastern Europe after the war. Greece, they don't work. We've been there and China before they start changing policies 20, 30 years ago. And we know policies that do work. And you can see them in evidence all over America, Singapore, South Korea, and that's what we need to do. Acknowledge the problems and fix them, but don't kill the goose. So you even hear anger these days about technology. Technology has taken away jobs.”

“I know, but I think whoever's the next president, if they'd fix immigration, we got to reduce corporate tax reform. The great bargain, because that is pushing cap, we are pushing capital and brains out of America today. And then we need to do something in education to help the lower income, the underprivileged and inner city, particularly inner city schools. I would greatly expand the earn income tax credit. I think raising minimum wages is a completely rational thing to do. I just be careful about doing it equally everywhere. I think I would let states do different things, and I'd come up with training programs that if people lose their jobs because of trade. So I would be a big promoter of trade, which is great for growth, but acknowledge the fact that it causes damage in a limited part of business. And where it does, we should have retraining, relocation, income assistance, and all those things so that that community can recover too.”

“And I look at it, look, there was legitimate reason that the American public got mad both at Washington, big banks, et cetera. And I pointed out this bank is not true that all banks were bailed out. That one statement has made it just as unbelievable that people think about banks. Banks provide an absolutely necessary thing. So, you know, all of our clients do business because they want to. We don't make anyone do business with us. We hold their money. We move their money. We lend them money. We raise money for them. That's true for middle market companies, for small businesses. Our client SaaS scores are high. But I understand the anger. I think we've had in America slow growth and lopsided growth in terms of the middle income people. I think that's true. I think what we need to do is grow faster and then come up policies, better tax policies for like, I would greatly expand the earnings credit. We've got to fix some of these things. So I would ask all these people raging, tell me what you're going to do that's going to fix the problem that you're talking about. And I give you, if we're not saying.”

“But very often what they're doing here, they can do it over a much broader base of companies. So sometimes you're building the system, it'll be used by 40 people. It's very expensive to build it for one. So, I mean, I just give you one example. We torture clients now with know your customer. So we have to have a huge amount of data in a customer before we can even onboard them and then run it through AML and anti-money laundering. If someone could get all that data in these big clients and has done its subsidiary, it's got to be updated. It's done by officer. We get that money information or client, so do eight other banks sometimes. So, of course, the far better idea is to have a utility that does it once. We can all rely on the information. It's better for us and is far better for the client. Going to maintain one file.”

And if the IPO market's not good or bad the next six months or nine months, it's not going to change our strategy Silicon Valley, San Francisco are creating great companies over time. We will be here forever. So, you know, you've never seen JP Morgan, at least during my tenure, you know, jump in and out, try to guess how good the mark's going to be, cut way back. In fact, we've added nothing but resources, more specialization, better research, all the things that I hope companies would want to see if they want to go public”

“Because our clients, they rely on us. And whether it's a government or a company or a private company, and we've been the same here. So remember, part of our heritage here is Hampton Quist. So a lot of our bankers have long-term tenure. They're trusted by their clients, and they support enormous brain power by the rest of the company. So think of we can get you the best advice anywhere you need in the world. We know the fancy markets all around the world. We always talk banks, be honest.

We've been doing nothing, we're growing here with 3,000 people here. This is one of kind of a home of ours. So the IPO market, I mean, first of all, it's always open and closed. It's always been true. That's not different today than it was before. And it's a little bit like an accordion. And it reacts to a whole bunch of different things about what people think the future is and valuations. And so I think last year there were, I forgot, 27 IPOs.

“Know, and you don't have to go through the torture process of a bank, but we should be doing that ourselves too, right? I mean, shouldn't we be if you're a client of ours, you have a $200,000 loan. Maybe just give you an automatic $30,000 line of credit. These startups are looking at weaknesses in banks and providing services, and some will end up partnering with banks and some won't. The lending side, whether you're lending to a person or a business, I mean, all of us can get credit right. All big data could improve credit. So whether you're a bank or a startup, those things could be done. Making the pain points less, banks have to redo their systems and stuff, which is doable. Sometimes it takes a longer period of time. But one issue that I always raise about P2P, and I'm not saying this because I disagree with them.

I aggregate this data because the client wants an aggregated basis. Here's what I'm going to do with it. So I'm fine with that. It's just how they use it.
