Not to worry, he's got Pete Wilson and Shulz. Buffett is on the team for show, as a "big name".

The thing about advisors is that he can listen to all of them and follow or ignore their advise as he sees fit. Arnold is a fan of Friedman and anti-socialist. I wouldn't worry about him raising property taxes or any other taxes.

I think he will pleasantly surprise people, especially Republicans and conservatives.

This bears repeating.

Buffett symbolically balances Kudlow and Friedman. That Buffett shot off his mouth is part of the package.

The Schwarzenegger infatuation with Friedman is a matter of long standing record:

In 1980 Friedman broadened his audience further with the publication of a book, "Free to Choose," and an accompanying PBS television series. Millions of people watched "Free to Choose" and came to understand how markets work. One viewer, a young actor named Arnold Schwarzenegger, said in 1994: "In Austria I noticed that people would worry about when they would get their pension. In America, they would worry if they were going to meet their potential. Friedman's books explained to me how a dynamic capitalist system allows people to fulfill their dreams."

Happy Birthday, Milton Friedman

Buffett and Schwarzenegger are close friends...he speaks of Buffett in glowing terms. Don't have the quotes handy, but they were high praise.
