YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

You may have heard about new savings and investment accounts for children known as "Trump accounts." They got a big boost from a philanthropic donation that's among the largest ever delivered directly to Americans. The accounts are expected to open next May. The question is, can they deliver the benefits over the long haul that are being promoted? Economics correspondent Paul Solman dug into that.
