I've been through one furlough. I didn't see it coming, and it stung like hell. From that I learned a valuable lesson - mitigating one's potential losses cannot possibly be a negative, and you do what you have to to get by. Of course I know if things get bad enough that 40% or whatever random number are cut, chances are the whole economy would be reeling, just as it was after I was furloughed. I still got a job, non-flying, despite all the sectors hurting, and did just fine. On the other hand I guess I could just hide in the corner and wish it would all magically work out also.

I don't see the correlation. 2003-2007 sure was great for the stock market but the government was running an INCREASING $500 BILLION dollar deficit year over year.
2000-2003 was pretty bad as far as the economy goes but again, debt increased between $200 billion and $500 billion year over year.

In any case, your original point was:
