Jim Rogers Shocks Pundits

Perhaps best known for his partnership with George Soros in the Quantum Fund, investor Jim Rogers has recently appeared on TV opposing government intervention in capital markets. Have not Messrs. Bernanke and Paulson been reassuring us for the last two years, under oath, that the economy's just fine? In the following video interviews (after the jump) with CNBC and the Financial Times, Mr. Rogers claims that this is one of many reasons to distrust their guidance in the current financial quagmire. Of note is that the FT interview was conducted a year ago.
