That's all you got? "the government over estimated how bad the economy is?" Is it that hard for you to accept that the program was a success?

When you start a program you want MORE money than you need not LESS. You dont want to have to keep asking for money to sustain your program. So logic would say, you would have to at least use a higher average car sales. (But that would look bad politically, because you cant purposely under estimate the program, then call it a overwhelming success)
After all arent you expecting the program to be a success? Shouldnt you use the higher avg?
But still if you use the low est of 25 - 30,000 cars a day. Did they still have enough money to run the full four months?
So with your logic, medicare and social security are overwhelming successes successes because they require 100s of percent more money than expected? Will you say that the health reform is successful when it needs more money than expected and is costing the state/country more than expected? Like it did in Massachusetts?
