Jim Rogers: Audit the Fed, Then Abolish It

Posted Dec 10, 2009 01:27pm EST by Aaron Task
Count famed investor Jim Rogers as an ardent support of Congressman Ron Paul's effort to audit the Fed.
The Fed is "the only institution in the world I know of that doesn't expect to be audited," Rogers says in the accompanying video. "It's incomprehensible to me these people are saying they have no reason to be audited -- they must have done something wrong, must have something to hide."

Not really surprising. What's happening now is history repeating itself. When FDR started the New Deal, he used the Fed to force to give them their good assets, and then went on an ill-mannered spending spree with them.
