Remember the movie Gremlins? It all starts with a cute little creature—until you break the rules. That’s exactly how Markowski sees the new Trump-era baby investment account plan. What begins as a feel-good $1,000 seed for kids born between 2005 and 2028 is, in his view, just another well-meaning gimmick that will mutate into a budget-devouring monster. With echoes of past expansions like the child tax credit, and whispers of future universal basic income, Markowski warns this “cute” idea won’t stay harmless for long—especially once politicians on both sides of the aisle start feeding it. A sharp, skeptical take on how small programs grow into fiscal gremlins when Washington breaks the rules. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
