The US recently rolled out a childhood investment account that offered to pump a thousand dollars per child into the main market index funds backed by the US government. In the SOTU there was also a mention of matching the first thousand dollar invested in an approved retirement account for all residents - not just federal employees.

The US government is pumping the stock market with debt - as long as nobody starts dumping bonds or currency this is an action that will make number go up.
