The Trump Accounts program, designed to provide investment accounts for American children, faces a significant enrollment gap, with only 6.6 million of the 73 million eligible children having accounts. This low participation is attributed to the current opt-in system, which requires parents to navigate government websites or file tax forms. Research from Washington University in St. Louis suggests that automatic enrollment, as seen in the SEED for Oklahoma Kids experiment where participation reached 99.9%, is far more effective. The article argues that the government has the authority for automatic enrollment using Social Security numbers but lacks the will to implement it, and proposes channeling donor contributions into a pooled fund for equitable distribution.
