CNSNews.com reports that the pro-union Connecticut Working Families Party is setting up a “field trip” to show working people where and how the AIG executives live.

Those executives “bear a large share of the responsibility for bringing the economy to its knees, and now the same folks are getting hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses — at our expense,” Connecticut Working Families says on its Web site. “Join us for a field trip to bring them the message.”

Jon Green, the director of Connecticut Working Families, told the New York Times on Friday that his group would be “peaceful and lawful” and would not “foment” lingering rage at AIG “unnecessarily.”

Another case of misplaced blame perpetuated by the likes of Barney “Dickstein” Frank (D-Mass.).

Today, in yet another show of outrage resulting from corporate “greed” epitomized by the AIG bonusgate, the Democrat led House passed a bill that would tax employee bonuses at companies that received government assistance.

Frankly, I don’t give a damn about AIG handing out bonuses to their execs. It’s about as logical as blaming an addict for indulging in his/her drug of choice if given money knowing full well of their addiction. But in this case, it was the government that forced us to give the addict money and now the same government has the audacity to blame the addict! On top of blame the government is willing to punish the addict including anyone who might enjoy a cigarette or a couple beers responsibly on occassion “for our sake”.

Now Treasury Secretary Tim “Turbo Tax” Geithner came up with the idea to give the addict money in the first place and Obama continues to defend the man’s actions. Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) knew the addict was going to get a fix and helped make it happen. And House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) now feels justified in making an example of anyone close to being an addict.

Anyone else see something wrong with this story besides the poor substance abuse addiction analogy?

In response to the recent outrage over the AIG “bonusgate” the capital triad consisting of Tim “Turbox Tax” Geithner, Chis Dodd (D-Conn.), and Barney Frank (D-Mass.) were dispatched to show the American people that the government was all over this mess.

Now with the AIG crisis clearly behind them, Obama wasted no time telling Americans how irresponsible it would be not to support his $3.6 Trillion budget proposal, the largest in history. With the ink still drying on the $800 billion stimulus package he signed in February, Obama said his budget was an economic blueprint for “real growth and real prosperity.”

Responding to critics who argue he should focus on fixing the banking crisis and that his plans are too ambitious, Obama was confident that his team largely responsible for the very economic crisis we face could free up frozen credit and get people working again, allowing him to focus on the real economic recovery.

Further he added:

“To say that… uh, they say that… uh, in the face of challenges… uh, that we face… we should in be trying to do less than more, what I say is the challenges we face are too large to ignore.”

Yes, Obama, they are too large to ignore but I’m sure you’ll try to change that.
