Highly staffed? Hardly. More staffing than other agencies? Apparently so. Other agencies having abysmal staffing does not make SSA OIG "highly staffed".
I don't understand the math here. If you look at Figure 6 of the report (http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2016/04/11-political-appointees-barriers-government-efficiency-effectiveness/oig.pdf), it says SSA OIG averaged 583 employees 2004 - 2014. So with a ratio in Figure 7 of 0.114, that means SSA averaged 5114 employees during the same time period (583/0.114). I think we all know SSA averaged more than 10 times that number! Where did Brookings get these numbers?

Congress is highly staffed.
