Good column from Paul Krugman. I find I agree with him on almost everything:
It Takes a Party

(3,894 posts)Any Democrat would retain the tax hikes on high-income Americans that went into effect in 2013, and possibly seek more. Any Republican would try to cut taxes on the wealthy House Republicans plan to vote next week to repeal the estate tax while slashing programs that aid low-income families.
Any Democrat would try to preserve the 2010 financial reform, which has recently been looking much more effective than critics suggested. Any Republican would seek to roll it back, eliminating both consumer protection and the extra regulation applied to large, systemically important financial institutions.
And any Democrat would try to move forward on climate policy, through executive action if necessary, while any Republican whether or not he is an outright climate-science denialist would block efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
