There is good news and bad news when it comes to the nation’s defenses.

The good news is that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon announced a $1.5 trillion initiative focused on national security. It is unclear how Dimon will gather the more than $10 billion of his bank’s own money that he committed for the effort, but good for him for trying to sound the alarm and generate enthusiasm for the effort.
