The new deal policies will be fine. The Democrats need to stand fast against changing anything unless they are accompanied by tax increases on the rich and upper middle class. Especially when Obama is out of the picture, the Democrats will gain massive leverage over the Republicans on Medicare and Social Security (because old whites don't trust a black, unfortunately). Republicans don't even understand what is coming towards them. Old people really, really like Medicare and like  social security even more. If Obama stalls on changing them in his years (which he can easily do since the Republicans won't budge on tax hikes), it will lead to a lot more pain in subsequent years for the Republicans. They would be better off making a deal with Obama, but they won't, because they are delusional. Republicans don't understand how screwed they are in the long run.
