Starbucks CEO: Tell Lawmakers to Get Along

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz pleaded with Americans Tuesday night to take to the Internet, the mail or the telephone to urge lawmakers to quit their bickering and find solutions to the nation's mounting problems.

.

"The country is going in the wrong direction because Washington is taking us there," Schultz said at a town hall-style conference organized by No Labels, a group working to find common political ground. "We cannot allow that to happen; they work for us."

.

Schultz, who has been urging fellow CEOs to withhold political donations until Washington types learn to get along, said the combination of unemployment, uncertainty, and massive deficits is creating one of the biggest crises this nation has ever been through.

.

He claims the true size of the national debt is $47 trillion -- not $14 trillion -- when all the unfunded commitments the nation has made are accounted for.

.

When all those obligations start coming due, he said, the picture will not be pretty.

.

"There's going to be significant cuts in social services, the likes of which we have never seen," said Schultz. "The gap between the haves and have-nots is going to widen."

.

In addition to Starbucks' (SBUX, Fortune 500) Schultz, AOL's (AOL) Tim Armstrong, Frontier Communications' (FTR) Maggie Wilderotter, Zipcar's (ZIP) Scott Griffith, Whole Foods' (WFM) Walter Robb and Intuit's (INTU) Bill Campbell have all signed Schultz's pledge to withhold political donations.
