No it's not, don't be ridiculous. Reagan would have lifted people up with hope and spoken about the unique entrepreneurial nature of the American people and how government policy thwarts their rise...he wouldn't go for divisive finger-pointing at people down on their luck (provided were talking about the unemployed at large).

Boy you know NOTHING about Reagan.
Reagan is the one who coined the term "welfare queen".

Reagan implement policies that helped the economy. And he did put a lot of blame on Carter during the election. I imagine Cain was taken out of context - but just saying “go out and get a job” implies that the President and congress have no power at all in which direction the economy goes.
Taxes, regulations, healthcare, and perhaps mainly the anti-American & anti-capitalism message preached by this administration are all causing companies to be leery of hiring, growing, or staying in the U.S.
Heck, even if you wanted to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and become a “rag man” and go around collecting old cothing to turn into rugs, etc. - just think of the license fees, inspections, etc. that would be required today! This is not your father’s Depression.
BTW - I heard one reporter talking about a guy that was at the Wall Street protest. He had QUIT his job so he could go protest the lack of jobs.!? (Okay - that idiot I would point a finger at!)

Reagan knew every “welfare Cadillac” joke in the book—and that's what these 99% bums are—raised on steak and now bitchin’ about having to eat hamburger!
The Gipper was high-fiving Cain from the grave on this one.
