“There are few here that says “get off the couch and get a job”. That is easy for you to say. I remember having that attitude but not no more. Now I’m on the other side.”

You have already made the trip from conservative to moderate supporting the govt. safety net.
It will not be too much longer until you are a liberal democrat blaming Walmart, big business and Wall Street.
“You have already made the trip from conservative to moderate supporting the govt. safety net.”
This is BS. These are all programs that we’ve supported with our tax dollars for decades.
I think there is general agreement that there should be a safety net, or perhaps you’d prefer India.
The unkindliness here is disturbing.
I would say something else, but I won’t.
Whatever. Walmart & Wall Street had a HUGE role in putting us in this situation. Walmart for leading the charge on outsourcing, and Wall Street for the financial debacle (ongoing, by the way).
Many intelligent conservatives on this very site warned about this nearly a decade ago, and were ignored by the likes of you. And now, when you and your ilk have been thoroughly discredited, you harangue the innocent victims of what your stupid ideas have wrought?
Here's the deal: the "World" economy actually IS a zero-sum game; and we are being dragged down to the tune of probably 50-60% because people like you were too stupid to understand that simple FACT.
