Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, and his wife, Susan Dell, announced Tuesday that they will contribute a staggering $6.25 billion to seed new investment accounts for 25 million American children.
The move cements the launch of Trump Accounts, a cornerstone in President Donald Trump’s vision of “economic opportunity for all.”
Under the new law passed as part of the sweeping One Big Beautiful Bill Act earlier this year, each child born in the U.S. between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, will automatically receive a $1,000 government-seeded account.

Mind-boggling generosity. But the Left will find a way to paint this wonderful act as fascist, or racist or...uh...something.

Amazing generosity.
But, cynical old me imagines that 80% of these kids will cash out the account at age 18 and buy a boat or a car and blow it all.

I buy nothing but Dell when I need to upgrade. The challenge now is to prevent democrats from raiding that money when they need to "borrow" like they have with Social Security and the kids can't access it until much later in life. We can only wish that SS operated this way where those born here are assigned an individual account instead of hoping that the government piggy bank will still be there when they retire.

will this be available to 'tourist' babies?
And, why not forbid any early withdrawals? we do that with social security.

Hate to be so cynical, but: will all those babies born to illegal alien mothers and who are considered US citizens be eligible? Sure seems that way. And if the Supreme Court eventually rules in Trump's favor that babies born to illegal alien mothers are not US citizens per the 14th Amendment - how are we getting that money back? And what fraud protections will be put in pace? We saw all the fraud with PPP program during Covid. And of course, just look at what has been happening in Minnesota with the Somalis?

They need to make it easy for the kids to put more money in as they go along. They shouldn't have to take it when they're 18 they should be able to continue to contribute until they take it out and it would be like a Thrift Savings Plan. I encourage everybody I talk to that's young to open a 401k or an IRA even if they're only putting $5 a week in it. Once they get in the habit the money begins to mount up. And since this is their private fund the Democrats shouldn't be able to access it. We know they'll lust after that money pile. They have in the past proposed stealing everyone's 401ks and then they would give you back the money.

Re #10. I started in the insurance business in 1969. Fortunately, my business partner and I decided we needed a pension plan for ourselves and our employees. Employee contribution and employer matched. Probably the best decision we ever made. We held on through the ups and downs of the market and made ourselves at least very comfortable in our retirement. I never touched mine but don't know what our former employees did with theirs and I hope that they didn't cash theirs out before they also retired. As you said, $5, $10 or whatever you can spare or more. Give up those expensive restaurants once a week or a new car every couple of years. You will thank yourselves when you retire or you will end up scraping by on SS. I know some who have to do that now and some who get bored with advice/screed by this old man but they will be glad they listened to the decrepit old coot when they finally retire.

This all sounds like a very nice idea, but will the money get to the intended beneficiary. What if the guardian takes out a loan in the child’s name pledging the account as collateral and then spends the money on themselves. Or, when the child reaches 18, the guardian makes the child give them the money. Not all guardians are nice.

Too many people are not grateful for what they did not earn. I appreciate the gesture, but get ready for the whines or the progressives.

What I've heard is that the donation to future babies will be to certain zip codes where the yearly income is less than $150,000. This is a great plan, but it will need strong oversight to keep it from being raided by scammers.

#15 - I also had a savings account book. Dad would take me to the bank to deposit birthday and Christmas money. When I started babysitting, I put some aside for the savings. I loved having my own account and watching the balance grow! I bought my first car at 16 with that money ($400). Unfortunately, it was a '63 Corvair Spyder. Ralph Nader was right. One day on the way home from high school with a schoolmate, the rear left tire blew out on the San Diego freeway. We spun around 180 degrees and slammed into the overpass guard rail backwards. The car was totaled, but we were helped by four hunky guys in a bricklayer's truck...so the day was not a total loss!
