GOP 'Tax' Bill Takes Away College Deduction From Students, Gives College To Fetuses
That may explain why the GOP has included a very strange clause in their proposed tax plan. Hidden among massive corporate tax breaks and the other items on their long standing wish list is a curious provision allowing families to open 529 educational savings accounts for "unborn children" – essentially college plans for fetuses.
As a parent, I am deeply sympathetic to the spiraling costs of college and the constant worry of being able to afford higher education for kids. But this provision is so bizarre that the Brookings Institute calls it "not an economic one, but an existential one."
