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".
