It's really gonna help to pay for diapers in an index fund.

In Bill Clinton's defense it was intended for the child, not the parent.

From the article: "I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time," said Clinton, "so when that young person turns 18 if they have finished high school they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to put that down payment on their first home, or go into business."

Personally I think the policy is a good idea, especially since it doesn't encourage unwanted children from a short-term desire for cash. It would be great along with medicare for all, free tuition, a livable minimum wage, government housing for all, UBI...

I think it sounds like a way to give a bunch of money to Wall Street so they can gamble with it
