Why is the Social Security Administration better positioned to administer this program than a private entity would be?
Social Security is a compulsory, national program mandated by United States Federal law. Even apart from arguments that only a governmental entity can be assured of administering such a program in an unbiased, objective manner, only the federal government is sufficiently large in size to administer a national program of this scope at the low costs achievable through economies of scale and the absence of any profit motive.
