...bank bailout assumptions for employment and revenue are no longer right, the government's pot for solving the nation's economic problems is already light. The Administration's forecast is that unemployment will average 8.1% this year and 7.9% next year. The CBO estimates are a bit higher. Based on where unemployment stands now and where it will likely be at mid-year, none of those numbers is even remotely realistic. (See pictures of the Top 10 scared traders...
