The White House is ready to usher in a new generation of boss babies — and it's enlisting the help of some of America's most prominent executives. A small crowd of CEOs joined President Donald Trump at the White House for a roundtable on Monday to promote his plan to deposit $1,000 in investment accounts for newborn babies. The program is part of the president's signature — and controversial — spending bill, which has passed the House but faces headwinds in the Senate after getting publicly bashed by Elon Musk.
Main Idea: President Donald Trump promoted a new baby savings plan at the White House, while Michael Dell said Dell Technologies would match the government’s $1,000 deposit for employees’ children.
Key Points:
The plan could add a new federal cost for taxpayers if the Trump Accounts law passes, and the Senate fight leaves the benefit uncertain for families.
If enacted, newborns could get a small stock fund at birth, and Dell’s match for employees’ children could give some households a stronger start.
