Patrick draws fire from some on the right for echoing Trump and pushing for taxpayer funded investment accounts for newborns

The MAGA populist idea for "Trump Accounts" has immediate support from Democrats like Sen. Cory Booker. But some Texas conservatives blasted it as “socialism,” with one saying “Ted Cruz would have blown a gasket at Obama Accounts"

Echoing President Donald Trump, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Wednesday announced one of his top legislative priorities in the 2027 session would be the creation of taxpayer-funded investment accounts for newborns. It’s an idea that drew immediate backlash from some on the right, who didn’t hesitate to say that such a proposal amounts to a full embrace of “socialism” and “collectivism” by a top Texas Republican leader.

Trump unveiled his proposal for “Trump Accounts” in DC with the backing of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Ted Cruz, and Sen. Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey. Austin tech leader Michael Dell said that he and his wife’s foundation would chip in more than $6 billion to help fund the accounts at the national level.

Of course, Patrick couldn’t resist getting in on the action.
