Goldman Sachs Launches Small Biz Program

In an obvious PR move, Goldman Sachs, along with Warren Buffet, announces a program to give $500 million to small business. This seems linked to Lloyd Blankfein's recent apology for the "doing God's work" comment. Also interesting that this comes a day after the government announced the creation of a financial fraud task force. It is definitely too little too late.

Somebody, someday, with a blastoma type of brain cancer is going to violently go after some of these crooks and take the lid off this simmering pot. We could be looking at some sort of post-modern french revolution.........
