Senator Elizabeth Warren had no patience for Jamie Dimon's complaint about 'Bidenomics' in a blunt tweet.

Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has little sympathy for JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon after Democratic President Joe Biden unveiled his plan to bolster the middle class with a series of economic reforms dubbed Bidenomics.

The name harkens back to the administration of Republican Ronald Reagan's. Reaganomics pushed the unsupported, ineffective trickle down theory.


Trickle down economics posited if the wealthiest individuals and corporations were given more money, their overabundance would trickle down to the middle and lower classes.

The theory has never been shown to work, but it remains central to Republican economic policy.

Now that President Biden is proposing giving those same economic benefits reserved for the rich to the middle class, unsurprisingly a rich CEO is opposed to the measure.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon—a man with a net worth of $1.7 billion and a salary including bonuses of $34.5 million—urged caution when offering economic stimulus programs to the middle class instead of continuing to offer them only to members of his socioeconomic class.

In an interview with The Economist, Dimon said:

"I’d be careful about that."

After Dimon's disapproval was expressed, Senator Warren offered her response on Twitter.

She tweeted:

"Well, boo-hoo."
"The whole point of Bidenomics is to make our economy work for working people—not just Wall Street CEOs."

Others were also unimpressed with Dimon's concerns.







Dimon also told The Economist he doesn't intend to run for public office.

However a cabinet position is something he would consider.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
