MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE

> continued from page 6 workload continually increase and its budget continually decrease , without a deterioration of customer service .
The employees are not to blame . The blame rests squarely on Congress , which refuses to let Social Security spend its surplus on increased services - or , for that matter , even on maintenance of its services . Since 2011 , SSA has been forced to close 64 field offices , along with 533 - almost all - of its mobile offices . The agency employs 25,000 fewer employees , resulting in shortened hours and long lines at the field offices that remain open .
Congress is refusing to permit SSA to spend a few tenths of one percent more of Social Security ' s accumulated surplus . A few tenths of one percent .
For decades , opponents of Social Security have worked to dismantle it . When President George W . Bush tried to pass his privatization scheme , a leaked White House memo asserted , “ For the first time in six decades , the Social Security battle is one we can win .”
