"One might view Dimon’s call for a Marshall Plan as a signal that he is taking the social unrest in the U.S. evident in the protesters’ marches on Wall Street more seriously than most. And rather than simply comment on the protests, or open up his lines of communication to them, like other Wall Street CEOs have done, Dimon has suggested a tangible olive branch: a solution that helps everyone in the U.S."

Jamie Dimon Say U.S. Needs A Marshall Plan
I think the reason for Dimon’s “olive branch” is that he’s less concerned with pointing blame or making sure every responsible party gets the appropriate retribution, and more concerned with fixing the problems and getting on with the business of actually, y’know, doing business. If we had more business and political leaders concerned with that, we’d be farther along on our path to climbing out of our doldrums.
