Investing in Economic Mobility: Building a Path to Opportunity | Global Conference 2026
Michael Milken, Ted Cruz, Brad Gerstner, Kevin Hassett
The "Invest America Act" mandates the automatic creation of direct-ownership investment accounts for millions of children, a program championed by Senator Ted Cruz and economists like Kevin Hassett as a vehicle for "Opportunity Conservatism" rather than government redistribution. Supported by massive private philanthropy from figures such as the Dells and Ray Dalio, the initiative allows tax-free annual contributions up to $5,000 with projected account values reaching $700,000 by age 35. By targeting the bottom of the income distribution, the White House aims to cultivate a nationwide constituency of young investors while driving a political shift toward expanding personal capital ownership beyond current eligibility thresholds.

Domestically, the executive branch is accelerating energy dominance and AI development through the termination of the Green New Deal, the repeal of export restrictions, and the implementation of a federal standard that permits AI training on public data without creator consent. With key appointments led by David Sacks and the EPA, the government aims to achieve zero illegal border entries, trigger $17 trillion in private investment, and reclaim global manufacturing supremacy by 2026.
