“There is an existing legislation. which subsidized hiring people with disabilities!”

I have absolutely no problem with that.

Saw it many times in the DoD, but limits must be placed on what positions may be held for obvious reasons......to any sane common sense person anyway

Yes, I like that one too.
Disabled persons are probably the only ones who really need some support (private or governmental). Yet, most of them can contribute in some limited or special way.
In era of minimum wages, they may be priced out of work. So some pay subsidy for them is probably the best way to help them.
And employers respond to that incentives.
For example our grocery store employs several mentally deficient people. They may not be rocket scientists, but they can serve as baggers.
Blind people excel on musical instrument industry and
I know several great blind engineers.

So disable people can fit into the society and thrive, if given job they can actually do! But they have to be creative!
One of the greatest examples was Bob Dole. He wanted to be a MD, but got seriously disabled in WWII. He figured out, he could not do good job as MD (MD’s need a good use of hands!), so he switched to lawyer and then politician. Made a great carrier (He would made a great president in 1996!)

The worst think to people happen when government forces employers to hire them into positions they cannot do good job at! Both the employer and the employee get eventually frustrated and everybody is unhappy!
Just imagine Bob Dole trying to make brain surgery with one hand!
