What to do about the Republicans

The target of today's rant (and that of the majority of them long into the future, I suspect) is everybody's favorite punching bag, Republicans.

Let's see:  During the Bush administration, for 7 out of 8 years of which the entire government was under Republican control, the debt limit was raised 7 times.  I can't recall a single time when any Republican raised any objections to that, or even talked about it at all.  But back then, of course, the Republicans' slogan was "deficits don't matter," as they methodically drove it toward its current levels.

Since the Republicans have long since proven that the only thing they are good at is continually refining the definition of "hypocrisy," I hereby propose the following solution to deal with their annoying, insulting, and ultimately profoundly America-hating rhetoric:

All Republicans are required to immediately and fully abdicate any and all involvement in the U.S. government.  They have recently bitched, loudly and belligerently, that the government is too big.  To show just a bit of fidelity to their own values, all Republican politicians should immediately resign their posts and donate their entire salaries, benefits and all assets to a board representing America's major corporate giants, which will then distribute the proceeds from the sale of the aforementioned assets as they see fit, to America's wealthiest "citizens."

Any Republican "elected" official who refuses to participate in this entirely voluntary action should then be offered the option of either continuing to work for the government without pay for a minimum contracted 10 year period, or joining the military as uniformed servicemen/ women (also a minimum 10-year contract).
