He doesn't need to hire him. We know he's a fan of his policies:

"I came from Austria, a socialistic country where government controlled the economy. A place where you can hear 18-year-old kids talking about their pensions. I wanted more. I wanted to be the best. I had to come to America. I had no money in my pocket, but here I had the freedom to get it. I have been able to parlay my muscles into a big movie career.

"Okay, so there I was, waiting for Maria to get ready for a game of mixed doubles tennis. I started flipping the television dial. I caught a glimpse of Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman whom I recognized from my studies in economics. I didn't know I was watching Free to Choose. It knocked me out. Dr. Friedman validated everything I ever thought about the way the economy works.

"I became a big pain in the neck about Free to Choose. All my friends and acquaintances got tapes as well as books for Christmas after Christmas. If I had come up with Free to Choose, maybe I wouldn't have got into body building."

--Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold my subscribe to Friedman's theories, but I'm not sure the Warren Buffet does. Buffet seems like he leans times. Buffet is an investor - not an economist. They are different things. I'm not convinced that Buffet completely agrees with Friedman's philosophy.

repost - correcting my typos - sorry about that....

Arnold may subscribe to Friedman's theories, but I'm not sure the Warren Buffet does. Buffet seems like he leans left at times. Buffet is an investor - not an economist. They are different things. I'm not convinced that Buffet completely agrees with Friedman's philosophy and that Buffet will have greater influence in the final decisions.
