Predictions offered by Ed Lane, publisher of The Lane Report:
Government:
"Watch for prepackaged bankruptcies for cities, counties and states unable to pay contractual obligations for employees'[sic] pensions and healthcare. The trend could start in California, Michigan, New Jersey or New York."
Automotive:
"Higher U.S. automotive sales will boost employment at Kentucky's manufacturing and assembly plans and substantially lower the state's unemployment rate. Government will earn more sales and income taxes but not enough additional revenue to bail out underfunded (and generous) pension and healthcare benefits for government employees." (Although I'm not sure government ever "earns" anything, it "takes in" plenty, though.)
Healthcare:
"Healthcare costs will substantially increase due to federal government mandates."

All the more reason to follow Adam Smith's (the father of capitalism) advice, and find new sources of revenue.
Derivatives would be a good place to start, then bank-laundered drug money followed by a proportional rate tax on campaign contributions.
The cost keeps on increasing why is there a need of forcast
just use an average % year on year
