Decline in the number of people on government disability

During and after the Great Recession, people turned to disability rolls in large numbers to make ends meet. This accelerated what had been going on for a generation, as the federal government's disability insurance program saw steady growth.
But now, for the first time in decades, the disability rolls are shrinking. More people with disabilities are returning to work and holding on to their jobs. With unemployment at a nearly 50-year low, companies are struggling to find workers. And that means people who had trouble finding a job in the past are suddenly in demand. That includes people with disabilities.
Another O'Keefed head up the ass moment. During the recession O'Keefed claimed the expansion in the number of people receiving disability was on account of aging baby boomers and not Obama's shitty economy. High numbers of workers on disability was just the new normal we all had to accept due to demographics.

The disability program was being massively abused under Obama, I guess this is another issue where it's unfair blame him.
