Suppose shutting disabled people out of work, or leaving them without the support they need at work, costs the United States 5.0% of GDP a year.
Closing
50% of that gap would be worth about US$770 billion a year.
The direct support to get there would cost about US$7.2-90 billion a year, leaving about US$680-760 billion.
Support on that scale would reach roughly 4.4-8.4 million people, at about US$1,600-11,000 per person a year, for assistive products, complex assistive technology, workplace adjustments, job coaching and placement, and personal assistance and interpreting at work. In total that is 0.9-12% of the US$770 billion and 0.02-0.29% of United States GDP. For scale, the world at the same settings: about US$3 trillion a year for US$35-

Today in American history, Andrew Johnson avoided conviction for high crimes and misdemeanors for his obstructionism with Reconstruction post Civil War. Johnson repeatedly attempted to veto Reconstruction Acts, forcing Congress not only to override his veto, but to seek a supermajority to stop him.
