Play Nice, Boys: We're All In This Together

In the last couple of days, Ron Paul 2008 has announced the addition of their first two economic advisers, both of whom are absolutely top notch aces in the financial sector. These two men are Don Luskin of Trend Macrolytics and Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital. Schiff has been rocking with EuroPAC the last few years, reaping huge returns through investments in foreign markets, and he has gotten nearly every major call in the financial world in the last few years right. Luskin has been around the block for a while and is known as a top notch investment strategist, being credited for numerous innovations in investment strategizing that have paid dividends for a number of institutional investors. On top of this, he is a also a terrific debater and a whitty writer; his blog, The Conspiracy To Keep You Poor and Stupid, is some of the best mix of economic analysis and sardonic humor you will find, and he has conducted a just and glorious Holy War over the years on the economic anti-Christ himself. Together, they form probably the best pairing from the financial world you will ever find teamed with a campaign.

The problem? Well, they don't like each other very much.

Hopefully, they will put their personal conflict behind them in pursuit of the greater good. Both are top notch, and I am fans of both.
