It all starts with a cute little creature—until you break the rules. That's exactly how Markowski sees the new Trump-era baby investment account plan. What begins as a feel-good $1,000 seed for kids born between 2005 and 2028 is, in his view, just another well-meaning gimmick that will mutate into a budget-devouring monster. With echoes of past expansions like the child tax credit, and whispers of future universal basic income, Markowski warns this “cute” idea won't stay harmless for long—especially once politicians on both sides of the aisle start feeding it. A sharp, skeptical take on how small programs grow into fiscal gremlins when Washington breaks the rules. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

In this fiery and thought-provoking commentary, he draws a parallel between our economic system and the undead—slow-moving, artificially sustained, and dangerously contagious. From government bailouts to artificially low interest rates, Markowski argues that we've bred an economy where failure is no longer allowed and risk is masked by subsidies and intervention. The result? Zombie companies, weakened competition, and a generation losing faith in capitalism itself. If America wants to be the most dynamic economy in the world again, it needs one thing: a reckoning. A purge. A return to real capitalism—no painkillers, no crutches, just economic survival of the fittest. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

From the 2008 crash and Occupy Wall Street to today's Gen Z frustration, he lays out how bailouts, regulatory capture, and endless government intervention have eroded true capitalism.Why are young Americans turning to socialism?
