TRUMP’S NEW PLAN IS SHOCKING
The proposal lands at the intersection of hope and fear.
For many parents, the idea that their child could turn $1,000 into a life-changing nest egg
feels like a rare promise in an economy where wages lag and costs explode.
They imagine that money growing quietly for 18 years,
helping pay for college, a first home, or a business dream that would otherwise die on the drawing board.
Yet beneath the optimism runs a current of unease.
Tying a child’s future to the chaos of the stock market feels,
to some, less like empowerment and more like a gamble with public money.
Supporters see a bold attempt to narrow the wealth gap;
critics see another experiment where ordinary families bear the risk.
Whether it becomes law or not, the “Trump Accounts” debate has exposed a raw national question:
who deserves a real shot at building lasting wealth in America—and who decides how that shot is given?
