Trump set to appoint Herman Cain to Fed, pending clearance check: report
President Donald Trump has decided to appoint former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain to a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, according to a report by Axios. The report, which quotes two senior administration officials, said Trump will wait until the background check is completed before making the formal announcement. Trump's interest in selecting Cain for the Fed was first reported in January. The president has been sharply critical of the Fed's interest-rate policy. Trump has said he will appoint Stephen Moore to the Fed, but the White House has yet to send the nomination to the Senate. Moore and Cain would fill the two remaining vacancies on the Fed's seven-member board.

JPMorgan's Dimon urges infrastructure, mortgage reform to spur U.S. growth
April 4 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co chief executive Jamie Dimon on Thursday called for reforms to U.S. public policy on education, infrastructure and mortgages to repair what he called the "fraying" American dream.
"Governments must be better and more effective - we cannot succeed without their help," Dimon in his 50-page annual letter, a third of which was devoted to his argument. "The rest of us could do a better job, too."
U.S. schools are failing to prepare students for professional-level jobs, he said, and suggested that more high schools and community colleges provide training programs and internships for specific jobs.
JPMorgan is retraining some staff in its own workforce as it prepares for jobs to be eliminated by advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence, Dimon said.
Dimon also called on the U.S. government to finish implementing the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, which was passed in 2015 and is meant to provide $305 billion to improve America's highways through 2020.
Bad mortgage rules are also hindering U.S. economic growth, Dimon said. He called for on policymakers to reduce "onerous and unnecessary origination and servicing requirements" and to open up "the securitization markets for safe loans."
JPMorgan is reviewing its role in originating, servicing and holding mortgages, given the current lack of reforms, he said.
Last year, Dimon praised U.S. President Donald Trump for the 2017 tax reform law, which lowered the business tax rate. JPMorgan invested in technology and new branches and raised employee salaries in 2018 because the reforms boosted its net income by $3.7 billion, Dimon wrote.
However, Dimon said reform is still needed to address inequities in taxes on individuals, and suggested the government expand the earned income tax credit to help the lowest earners.
JPMorgan said it expects its first-quarter net interest income will likely be flat compared with the prior quarter and adjusted expense to be up by "mid-single" digit percentage compared with the year-ago quarter.
The bank reports its first-quarter results on April 12.

maybe too much of a flashpoint for most-at this time? He certainly stuck it to bernancke when he held up that silver coin for all to see.
Would be good pick for head that's for sure.
The look on bernancke's face the whole time is priceless.

Not naive in the least bit. Are you aware that he tried to convince people into shorting TSLA last year?-that went……poorly.
