Jim Rogers: "We're All Going To Pay A Horrible Price For This…"
By Money Morning Staff Reports


As the Fed gets ready to launch quantitative easing, dubbed QE3 or QE Forever -- legendary investor Jim Rogers is shaking his head.

In fact, Rogers, a long-time critic of the Feds policies of money printing, said repeating the same program the Fed has already attempted will make policymakers "look like fools again."

Any relief will be temporary, warned Rogers in a gripping interview on CNBC.

Wow. That's awesome. Because we don't get to hear the views of the capitalist exploiter class enough. We need to hear these silenced people and their fun little theories even more!
