I was furloughed for five years previously and the "have fun at Home Depot" or your sarcastic comment ticked me off then and they tick me off. Even though you're flying a C172 and have no idea what a furlough is or feels like, trust me, some day if that fate should befall you, you will sing a different tune. Economic livelihood hangs in the balance of anyone who is furloughed, so my advice, don't post douche bag comments like that.
