I like it...

...but will parents be able to raid these accounts?

Not to be a judgmental arse, but the kind of parents that don't plan for their children's future in some way or another are probably the same kind that would rob that piggy bank blind.

Fantastic initiative, more tools to reverse the demographic issue (Vance will win big on pronatalism). Based on historical returns, would be a little under $40k by the time the child becomes an adult and is able to pull from it (age 35).

Now imagine if the country would bite the bullet on social security and reform it to something similar…

Where is this money coming from.

I agree with everything you said... but parents will be 'guardians' of these accounts and that worries me.

I would prefer if they did it through the SWF Trump is setting up, and put it into the market through that. Having this as just tracking the market makes it significantly more expensive than it needs to be.

Guardrails, as in no exceptions on being 35 to pull, is a must. Otherwise this will get abused

Children don't choose to be born to shitty parents... those are the kids that might see some benefit if their parents don't steal it first.

Very true. I would like to think even the slimiest politicians would be afraid of being outed as raiding a fund established for the nations children though.

The people already know what it’s like to pay women to birth children.

This is an Ayanna Pressley and Cory Booker idea from five years ago. Looks like Trump hijacked it.

I'm not worried about the parents.

Schools in texas, from grade school to universities have and are taking my money and put out shite.

This. Hungary had the right idea with increasing tax breaks to taxpaying families having children. Don't give this money to the children, as it doesn't help the middle class families worried about the cost of having a child. And definitely don't give it to families/single mothers that get large refunds come tax season. The incentives needed to increase the US birthrate should focus heavily on MARRIED couples making a combined ~$80-250k.

Give them $500 gold and $500 Bitcoin, at market rate at the time of application.
