The job of Democrats and constituents will be to try and stop them.

Try, unsuccessfully, to privatize Medicare, and the Republicans are history.

(But I don't think that's what they'll do. They'll only privatize parts of it, the way they did for Medicare Part D, and claim they really didn't privatize it. And the negative effects will only become visible later on. They're pretty good at setting up time-bomb legislation.)
