In this case it's made up numbers that were known to be wrong but were presented as fact to generate support for a program that would cost more than twice as much.

It's okay if you deceive people so long as you are technically telling the truth when you do so.
Charlatans and con men everywhere appreciate your support.

In the real world, there are consequences when your estimates are 100%+ off.

The numbers were absolutely correct using standard actuarial estimates. Why are you lying?

I really don't think you read your own link or you are too stupid to understand it. Either way.
Your stupidity is only beat by paul who is calling Obama a liar because CBO does estimates on a 10 year basis.

And so were the numbers for medicare, medicaid, and SCHIP but all of them ended up costing more than double what was estimated.
Were you unaware that statistics can be used in lying?

That's generally because things were added to those programs after the estimates were made. And, again, many of those costs were already costs. Kids don't suddenly need billions of dollars of health care because of SCHIP, they always needed that health care but their parents generally couldn't affords it, so, they ended up bankrupt, the hospitals ended up taking a loss and passing that loss onto paying customers and everyone ended up unhappy.
Of course, to a eugenics buff like you, this doesn't matter at all, because you firmly believe if someone is too poor to pay for medical care society should let them die.

Usually that occurs because the programs work well, so future laws are passed to expand the scope of what they cover. The CBO can't guess at what future laws will be passed that will increase the cost of things.

Well, we all knew the estimates were low and cooked to make the program more inclined to sell to the masses. These on going estimates are no surprise. Pols always low ball programs, you'd think we'd have learned our lesson by now.

This happens with nearly every bill and government program yet people are always suprised when it happens. People must be gullible and dumb

This is good news. It means that the government will crash sooner. And anything that speeds that up is very much welcome by me.
