don't worry guys. There's nothing to fear. This is simple Keynesian economics. During the good times, the government uses taxes and reduced spending to build up surplus money that can then be used to inject in to the economy when things are rough.

And that's why the U.S. government has spent the last 8 years saving up money for just such an occasion... oh crap we're fucked.
