The Social Security Administration (SSA) is setting up an automated process for parents to obtain Trump Accounts for their children. These Accounts can be established for newborns and children who have a valid Social Security number up until they reach the age of 18. A one-time $1,000 pilot program contribution from the Department of Treasury is available to children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, who are US citizens with a valid Social Security number. So far, six million children have been enrolled in Trump Accounts.
SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano explained "Social Security numbers are the backbone of Trump Accounts, and we will empower parents to enroll their newborns through the Enumeration at Birth program to take full advantage of this program from the day a child is born. This effort aligns with SSA's mission to provide financial security and support to the American people."
Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-Vt) complained "this isn't a program to provide welfare for those in need. It is a sinister plan to create an entire new generation of capitalists. Instead of devoting more public funds to the expansion of our welfare safety net, we'll be sowing the seeds of greed. Youngsters with savings and investments will become protective of their assets. They'll question public policies like increased taxes and regulations that threaten the ability of these assets to grow rather than riot in the streets for more collectivism like the generation before them has been doing. This is an existential threat to democratic socialism. Undoing these accounts must be one of our highest priorities once we take back control of Congress."
In related news, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif) has made a career of denouncing millionaires. Khanna currently lives in a $6 million mansion, which is now for sale, as he prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive estate a few miles away in Virginia. Khanna's two minor children have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that prey upon distressed debt. Khanna says he is "liberating these financial proceeds from the clutches of the ultra rich who would otherwise hoard this wealth and engage in capitalistic expropriation of labor."

I dunno. You can lead a horse to water. Why should the government sign them up? Is it because the parents don’t know what’s best for their kids and can’t do it themselves? Sounds leftist. Same as Motor Voter-stay one step ahead of your enemies. Get rid of both.
