An unlikely group of legislators, spanning the full political spectrum, is proposing a fresh, long-term response to the challenges of financial education, saving, and retirement security: KIDS Accounts.

By providing every newborn child a savings account at birth, with matching deposits for lower-income children, KIDS Accounts will create a national culture of savings and investing, promote financial education, and encourage life-long asset accumulation
