Therefore, according to the trustees of the Social Security system, it\u2019s projected that they will be unable to pay the full benefits by 2034. This doesn\u2019t mean that people won\u2019t get any amount, just not the full amount unless there are major changes made in the system.  If we want to undo the debt pile, we have to increase productivity. That means that we also need to increase the amount and affordability of energy since without energy, nothing gets done.  Our country\u2019s focus shouldn\u2019t be on welfare-warfare but on energy dominance. To do that, we\u2019ve got to use a more viable source of energy in the form of hydrogen. It can be extracted from water through electrolysis and it burns just like natural gas.  Hydrogen solves a lot of problems. For those worried about global warming, hydrogen doesn\u2019t create any carbon dioxide - it\u2019s just water back to water. It\u2019s also done without subsidies, so it doesn\u2019t cost the taxpayer anything.    "The only way to save America is to re-energize America. And the only way to do it is with hydrogen, because it solves all the problems that we have" \u2014  Jay Zawatsky \u202f  More from Jay Zawatsky: Published articles in The National Interest magazine: https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/commentary\/how-energy-made-the-modern-world-6924 https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/commentary\/energy-the-debt-conundrum-6926 https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/commentary\/new-energy-era-6928     Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http:\/\/theannuityman.com\/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https:\/\/www.stantheannuityman.com\/annuity-calculator!  ","author_name":"\u201cFun With Annuities\u201d The Annuity Man Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/www.TheAnnuityMan.com","html":"
