Could Warren Buffett Negotiate a Better Deal for Taxpayers?

Tags:
A sore point for taxpayers and Congressmen like Jeff Bingaman American taxpayers do not get an equity stake like the 7% that Buffett got from Goldman Sachs for his $5 billion. Andrews responds to the objection of Treasury that this will make some firms reluctant to come forward and so not enable broad participation which is an important goal of Treasury, by saying that the Buffett deal puts the burden on Treasury to demonstrate why taxpayers should accept "a raw deal". He also raises the question of recapitalizing the banks which is not effectively accomplished under the present plan making the plan incomplete in its goal of increasing the flow of credit.
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
