Paul LePage (R) received an enthusiastic standing ovation from his fellow Republicans for saying that all able-bodied out-of-work Americans need to "get off the couch" and go find employment.
LePage called on the state legislature to pass structural changes to welfare, saying, "Maine's welfare program is cannibalizing the rest of state government. To all you able-bodied people out there: Get off the couch and get yourself a job."
"I understand welfare because I lived it," he added. "I understand the difference between a want and a need. The Republican Party promised to bring welfare change. We must deliver on this promise."

With leadership like this is it any wonder why we are in the trouble we are in. This is why we are now the "Divided States of America". He only has empathy with the citizens of his state that can pay for his salary and give to his campaign.
We need leaders that can rally us to get through this hardship not insult us.
