There was a time when SchwartzenKennedy was for EXACTLY that, and evangelized that to anyone who would listen, and even forced it on those that wouldn't.
If you check out - posted by another FReeper tonight - this link to watch Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" series, you'll see a young Arnold proudly giving a glowing introduction, and stating unequivocally that Socialist Europe needs to get the message of deregulation.
The fall of Schwartzenegger from Fiscal Conservative to Fiscal Joke has to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I always knew he was a libertine; I guess this confirms that social liberals always develop into fiscal liberals.
I would say a lot of what he has become is due to his ultra liberal wife. I can almost hear him now: “Yes honey, whatever you want me to do”.
