Social Security Scores Well On President Bush's Management Scorecard

Social Security scored exceptionally well on President Bush's last Management Scorecard, being one of only two agencies with "green" across the main board. The categories are Human Capital, Commercial Services Management, Financial Performance, E-Government, and Performance Improvement. Not all was quite so good. Social Security got only a Yellow in Eliminating Improper Payments, which is a little weird, since Social Security is almost certainly making vastly more improper payments than any other agency. What does it take to get a red?

Maybe it is based on percentages - how many other agencies make so many individual payments - SSA must issue somewhere around 50 million payments each month or around 600 million payments each year.

Oh so now something the Bush administration says means something.
