Of course Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Republican. That can mean a lot of different things to different people. He certainly cared enough about distinguishing himself as that that he did not become a Democrat once marrying into the Kennedy family, which would have been understandable in a way.
He’s hard to pin down as the governor of California, and to be honest I haven’t really liked his policies that much. Whatever the case, though, I found this video of him discussing Milton Friedman’s Free To Choose entirely fascinating.
It’s changed his life and he can’t keep it to himself! He gave it to everyone as presents! (Does that include his uncle-in-law Ted Kennedy?) He is against government intervention due to the oppressive socialist government of his native Austria, where little children already talk about the pension they’ll receive when they retire from their inevitable “civil servant” job! He’s personal friends with Milton Friedman and his wife Rose! It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about economics! It’s amazing.
His office is such a contrast to what the office of say…Milton Friedman would look like.

Yes, it’s very Palm Springs.
And what would Milton Friedman’s office look like?
