The guy running the show at Social Security is Martin O’Malley. He’s the Commissioner of Social Security. He’s a former governor of the State of Maryland.
O’Malley is no dictator. For some things, he needs the approval of the White House. More importantly, Congress has to appropriate operating funds for the Social Security Administration. Lack of adequate operating funds really limits what O’Malley can do. He’d like to hire about 10,000 more employees so the phones get answered and you can be seen quickly if you visit a Social Security office and so that the current backlogs throughout the agency disappear but Congress won’t let him. Don’t blame O’Malley for all the backlogs and service problems at Social Security. It’s not his fault. Blame Congress.
