Conservatives, i have a question regarding affirmative action and the disabled?

You are talking about two totally different policies, the disabled are protected under several labor laws, I suggest you look them up. NLRA, ADA, Title VII are all good sources. Not all disabled individuals require more support nor are they "less cost-efficient" in a majority of cases. AA does not protect individuals based on race, there are no allowable quotas in the policy. Again do your research. The disadvantaged as you are calling some group, but I fail to understand who, are only disadvantaged by the fact they do not exert themselves to be productive and contribute to society. AA does not protect the disabled, AA was meant to level a playing field years ago that has since been realized to have been leveled and now is no longer required because of other Acts that have replaced the concept of AA.
On the topic of social welfare, again AA was not put into place to be a welfare program. Social Security is not a social program as workers are required to pay into the program in order to obtain benefits. The only true social welfare programs that assists the "several disadvantaged" in being able to survive are nongovernmental controlled nonprofits that actually teach a person to be able to survive and obtain required skills in the marketplace. This is something no government program provides to the point of insuring personal responsibility and survival.
