I don’t really understand the underlying US government program— specifically why in a time of alarm over deficits “we” are enacting new private giveaways of public funds. Cynically, I doubt the folks who enacted this care one whit about folks who will turn 18 in the year 2044, 19 years from now. They only care about pumping the stock market today and winning elections in 2026 by transforming the Federal government into something like a hedge fund with a “save the children” sticker on the front door.

As for the Dells— they really do seem to care about our children and their philanthropy is beautiful.
