Huge, Transformative Victory: Invest America 401k Accounts for Every Newborn Child in America
The 47 Morning Update with Ben FergusonAbout this episode
🔑 Invest America Initiative Core Idea : Automatically create an investment account for every newborn in the U.S., seeded with $1,000 from the government. Contribution Cap : Up to $5,000 per year can be added to the account in a tax-advantaged way by family, friends, employers, or philanthropists. Investment Strategy : Funds would be invested in broad market instruments like ETFs or mutual funds tied to the S&P 500. Goal : To promote financial literacy, economic mobility, and long-term wealth accumulation for all children, regardless of socioeconomic background. 🧠Key Arguments in Favor Compound Growth : Starting at birth allows for decades of compounding, potentially resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars by adulthood. Capitalist Mindset : Encourages children to become stakeholders in the economy, fostering a pro-capitalist outlook. Bipartisan Appeal : Though led by Republicans, the initiative has conceptual overlap with Democratic proposals like Cory Booker's "baby bonds." Private Sector Support : Backed by major CEOs and companies, with commitments to contribute to employee children's accounts. Philanthropic Potential : Wealthy individuals and foundations could match or supplement contributions, especially for low-income families. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
