Warren Buffett to Co-Chair Goldman Sachs Program to Help Small Businesses

Executive Producer

A Goldman news release tonight (Tuesday) says the initiative will "unlock the growth and job-creation potential of 10,000 small businesses" by providing them with "greater access to business education, mentors and networks, and financial capital."
Buffett provided Goldman with a $5 billion loan and words of praise last fall at the height of the credit crisis. (The arrangement has proven to be very profitable for him so far.)

According to the Times:
“I would not be doing this if I didn’t think there was going to be a significant net benefit to small-business owners in this country,” Mr. Buffett said, adding that he was not disturbed by Goldman’s image problems and defended its hefty profits. “They are making a lot of money now,” he said. “I am all for it and this program is a beneficiary.”
