One thing that's interesting, about 5 million kids have signed up for Trump accounts, a 1.2 million eligible for a
00:00:06
thousand Treasury seed deposits. The accounts were created through Trump's big beautiful bill and are set to
00:00:10
officially launch July 4th. I have the several friends who are just doing it. It's like thousand free dollars. Like,
00:00:15
why not? Let's take the money and and use it to save for college or whatever
00:00:19
you want to save for for kids. >> I love the concept of every infant born giving them some money and letting
00:00:25
compound, you know, the most powerful force in the universe. I would have gone much deeper than this. For $40 billion a
00:00:30
year, you could give $7,000 to every baby. And then I would totally infantilize them and not let them touch
00:00:36
it till they're 65. And then in 20 or 30 years, you announce in another 20 or 30
00:00:40
years, we're no longer going to need social security cuz everyone's going to
00:00:42
have a million bucks at 65. Interest rates dive and it pays for itself. But our Congress doesn't want to think
00:00:48
faster than their [ __ ] 2in dicks. >> This is free money. You know, someone
00:00:53
cheapest said, "Oh, I took a tropic out." I'm like, "Are you kidding? Grab
00:00:55
it." Like absolutely take a truck account. Yeah. If you're eligible.
