With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.

Because the government would use that money to pay for other things instead of investing it. And by the time people retire there wouldn’t be close to what a person needs for retirement. Same thing that happened with Social Security.
