The Oregonian, which ran an article over the weekend on Social Security's inability to do continuing disability reviews because of lack of operating funds, has an editorial today titled "Saving Millions, Wasting Billions." The editorial is a bit overblown, but the basic premise of the editorial is accurate. The Social Security Administration is unable to conduct an adequate stewardship program because it lacks adequate operating funds. The agency is also unable to give the public even adequate service, which undermines the very concept upon which the agency was founded. Social Security is the proudest accomplishment of the Democratic Party. Restoring public confidence in Social Security should be a priority for the Obama Administration.
