That's 10.34% APY every single year from birth until 65 years old. If they let you retire at 65. Assuming no additional deposits.

So... apparently the government will be investing in the S&P 500 on behalf of newborn citizens. Private funds blindly propping up the top 500 companies isn't ideal, but people are free to do what they want with their money in the market. The thumb of public funds being pressed down onto that scale is just disgusting.

Inflation is so high $600k USD nominal might be a year of retirement expenses for the old millennials. It won't be a fart in the wind for a kid just born today.
