Quote:"Working people in Eastern North Carolina are being squeezed at the gas pump and the grocery store as they struggle to make ends meet in a world in which their salaries have no chance of keeping up with Mr. Bernanke's printing presses," Jones said. "The Federal Reserve must be held accountable for the damage it is creating."
The damage is already done. The primary job of the FED was to prevent the meltdown that occurred starting in 2008. It should have been given the boot at that point for it's monumental failure.
Walter is a good man...(as far as politicians are concerned) He lost his seat years ago due to redistricting and finally got back in a few years ago. I met him and was impressed with his views on government growth and waste back in the late 90's. He is as close to being a libertarian as one can get and be elected. Unfortunately he is taking a big risk of being marginalized by taking this stand. Cudos to Mr. Jones.
