How could the CBO make a mistake by half? Answer: Obama got to them, that’s how.

No question that you’re correct, Obama does just as he pleases.

How could the CBO make a mistake by half? Answer: Obama got to them, that’s how.And only by half IF the latest projections are accurate. Judging by past performance, they're probably low-balling again.

One problem is that they had to follow the way Obamacare was written with benefits kicking in 4 years after the taxes start, so it was 10 years of tax covering 6 years of payments. It is now three years later so it is 10 years of taxes covering 9 years of payments. I don't know whether the CBO is the main source of error, or if it is the (at the time) Democratic Congress gave them intentionally bad numbers and made them play "let's pretend".

Do NOT try to blame this on Obama.
The CBO was legislated into exist by design to goal seek for whichever political party is in power and find justification for stealing vast sums from future American taxpayers and redistributing it to special interest blocs immediately and very wealthy creditors in the long term.
This story can be rewritten replacing “Obamacare” with “Medicare RX” and “Obama” with “Bush” and the story would be the same.
