The investment bank of Goldman Sachs has announced a $500-million effort to help thousands of small businesses recover from the recession, and the initiative will include $200-million to expand access to business-education programs at community colleges, universities, and other institutions. The money will be given to institutions to provide scholarships to small-business owners and to increase the programs’ capacity. LaGuardia Community College, part of the City University of New York, will be the first recipient, according to The New York Times.

Fine. Suggested next step: $200 million to community food banks.

And the balance can go to develop ethics and social responsibility courses in business programs!

While they are at it, why not pay back the millions to the treasury that Paulson bankrolled his buddies at Goldman Sachs with. Money that appears to be forgotten about with Goldman’s business as usual profits and bonuses.
