In the current political environment, the topic of the national debt crisis is being largely overlooked by both parties and presidential candidates. The annual deficits are heading towards $2 trillion, with the overall debt reaching $30 trillion, and the situation seems to be worsening without any signs of improvement.

Addressing this issue will require difficult and unpopular decisions, which is why politicians are avoiding concrete plans to reduce the debt, especially during election season. By turning a blind eye to the problem, they are merely postponing the inevitable financial collapse or crisis.

In the past, influential business leaders like J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller have stepped in to assist the government during times of financial peril. Even during challenging circumstances and disagreements with political leaders, these CEOs prioritized the well-being of the nation over personal interests.

More recent examples include Jamie Dimon’s involvement in the 2008 financial crisis, demonstrating that CEOs can play a critical role in supporting the nation during times of need. With the looming threat of a debt crisis, current CEOs may need to emulate the actions of their predecessors to ensure the country’s stability and economic security.
