To be fair, that sounds pretty awesome. If we gave every baby 20,000 dollars and held it for them until college or 20 years old we could actually give our kids a much better start as adults. It would cost roughly 72 Billion dollars a year, about on par with Veterans Affairs. And yeah some of them are going to blow it on a car. But others will turn it into their retirement or get a house or use it for job training.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but our government has been doing the opposite if what is good for the citizenry for around 4 decades now and it’s not going to stop anytime soon.
