Economist Darrick Hamilton has a radical plan for leveling the socioeconomic playing field: give every baby born in the US a trust fund of up to $60,000. The money would be set aside for use when the kids reach adulthood, funding "asset-enhancing" activity, like higher ed, housing, or a business.

Interesting idea.  Of course, the government seems to have a way of accessing the "lock box" when they need money (which is all the time).

 

The bazillion dollar question is how to come up with the 60K?

Why not? You are spending into oblivion anyway.
