5. You think Republicans want a carbon tax and military cuts?

And a repeal of anti-strike/right-to-work laws, and jettisoning corporate tax subsidies, and maintaining current social programs (which will certainly involve raising taxes somewhere, preferably on the wealthy)?

I get that you're a hawkish Keynesian social democrat (I'd like to hear your views on how you think the last 60+ years of military Keynesianism has worked out). But if you relegate everyone who has less expansive fiscal views than yours to the GOP, the impending Democratic majority will be short lived.
