KUTV "Connect to Congress" Interview with Rep. Burgess Owens

Published | Video Starts at 24:31

Here's something that also is part of this package that we just did this first year. Talked about choice. We're talking about something called lers. That's what I just explained, the Merit Act. There's something else called the Trump account. And this to me is so exciting that every child, when they're born, will have an investment in them of $1,000 with compounding interest and being part of the stock market. That thousand dollars, if nothing else, that's added $6,000 by 18. If parents, family, non profits, put $5,000 per year in that child, that's $300,000 that they will own themselves at age 18. (24:31–24:43)

CLAIM

Asserts the existence of the Trump account, investing $1,000 for every child at birth.
