There's no reason to use a URL shortener. Please don't since it makes it impossible to tell what you are linking to. Also, I don't see how that article in anyway suggests that Buffett's support of a bailout was due to his financial interests as you imply.

yeah, Buffet made money because the taxpayer was forced to bail out GS by elected officials who care far more about GS than the our interests. http://seekingalpha.com/article/259129-buffett-profit-illustrates-how-taxpayers-gave-goldman-sachs-over-1-billion For example, there's no reason that the US should have enabled a bankrupt AIG to pay off their counter parties. GS got $14 billion from that one at our expense, just to pay off their bet that the housing bubble would collapse. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/inspector-to-audit-aigs-counterparty-payouts/ GS was also betting that AIG would be able to pay them. They lost that bet. Why should we have paid them? There is no reason, none that are in the public interest anyway. Clearly our officials have other hidden reasons for doing so.
