Senator Cruz Lauds New “Trump Account” Policy as a Path to Prosperity for the Next Generation
By Passman Akpos
WASHINGTON — In a bold new initiative set to begin on July 4, every newborn in America will receive an automatic “Trump Account,” seeded with $1,000, under the recently signed Invest America Act. The announcement came from Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who hailed the policy as a historic boon for future generations.
“We’re creating a whole new generation of capitalists who will experience the benefit of compound growth,” Senator Cruz declared in a statement Thursday. He congratulated Donald Trump and his administration for enacting the law, saying, “Thank you to President Trump for signing the Invest America Act into law. This will transform America. 🇺🇸”
Under the plan, each American child born from July 4 onward will have a federally managed investment account opened on their behalf, credited with $1,000. The account is intended to grow over time through investments — giving young Americans a head-start toward long-term financial security.
Administration officials and supporters argue the policy could shift the trajectory of wealth-building across the nation — instilling financial awareness early and helping reduce long-term inequality. But critics have already begun raising concerns about the cost, long-term sustainability, and potential socioeconomic implications of the program.
As America prepares for the July 4 rollout, the Invest America Act has ignited a national debate — with some seeing it as visionary, others as risky. Senator Cruz, however, remains optimistic: “We’re investing in the future — in the American dream.”
