4 Dividend Stocks to Hedge Against Social Security Failure

Forgive the Natural gas sidetrack. I am a Social Security recipient, but I also have a small state pension. I anticipate that, despite all arguments for deflation, the U.S. will be forced to inflate to at least partially deal with the crushing debt. My solution is to invest in midstream entities such as Master Limited Partnerships that may be able to raise rates, and dividends, as prices must inevitably rise

I agree completely with "merlynp". Both political parties have sold us down the river in so many ways. I have been screaming about natural gas conversion for years. "merlynp" should know that in Jimmy Carter's term, he declared that we were going to run out of natural gas. This was one of the drivers of his alternative energy program.In fairness to Carter's pessimistic view, massive new discoveries, partly due to new technology, have given us a 100 year gas reserve. I believe the present administration covertly intends to strangle all "conventional" energy sources in the expectation the economy can be forced into "clean" sources. There does not seem to be any realistic plan to transition out of conventional fuels.
