The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Trump Accounts give every child a stake in American prosperity, an idea backed by both parties. They blend public seed money with private and philanthropic support, skip bureaucracy and let compound growth do the work. It’s a simple, market-based way to expand opportunity, reward saving and invest early in America's future.

Establishment-critical narrative

Trump Accounts add trillions in unfunded liabilities while disproportionately benefiting the wealthy, who will maximize contributions and tax advantages. Whether on the right or the left, this program should concern Americans: it shifts responsibility from families to government, fosters dependency and leaves middle- and working-class households bearing costs through cuts to essential services.
