@cbsnews: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act created Trump Accounts, a new tax-advantaged investment account for children that includes a $1,000 Treasury deposit for eligible newborns. Beginning July 4, parents, employers and others may contribute to the accounts, which are available to eligible American children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028. It is a tool used to create "financial literacy," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells CBS News' Kelly O'Grady in an exclusive interview — allowing more Americans to "share in the bounty that is the U.S." #bessent #trump #us #finance

We chose not to enroll our daughter. They immediately “warned” of the data sharing that was required when you download the app. Nope.

Hawk6key :

if only 38% of people have investment, whats the point of ever talking about the stock market

Trump is literally doing that to increase the market so that he'll look good

timjim :

They're just trying to boost their own stock portfolios using these accounts

Latwona Evans :

yeah right

PondfatherNizz :

If so few households have investments, why do we always tout the stock market as a metric of success in America for everyday Americans?

humansiliconvalley :

I’d like to hear about a measure of success that goes beyond mechanical signups to better health, standard of living and share of wealth for citizens at large.
