let us start, however, with the 22% of the programs that gao demonstrated over the past five years due not meet their objectives and let us remember that the government has grown every year for the last 60 years. and most especially and most dramatically, in the last two years. we need to get spending under control. washington has a spending problem. we need to hold our representatives accountable and barbara boxer in her 28 years in washington, d.c., has done nothing to curb spending and has done everything to increase spending. >> senator boxer you have criticized ms. fiorina for outsourcing jobs. but before we get to that, i do want to get to a question for one of the listeners because we did ask listeners to call in. here's a question for you. >> i live in los angeles. senator boxer, you must always criticized ms. fiorina for outsourcing jobs. my company licenses web based services to schools and nonprofit and we would have a tough time remaining competitive if we could not outsource our web development work. for us, it is a choice between paying a single u.s. programmer $80,000 up

he gao last year confirmed that the goal was offers and while we at treasury agree that offers do not always translate into modifications, we can measure the offers because that is something we control. we also measure how many of those offers are accepted and how many offers perform and then those that don't perform, where they go. we learn from us and continue to expand our program with the overall objective of assisting 3 million - 4 million people. >> where the default records over a five-year period? >> it is still very early to tell. we have had very few modifications in the program more than one year. early indications hamp modifications will perform better than historical modifications which have been up to 70 for a -- 75 percent re- default. over 90% of the people remain in the progressthe occ metric report confirm h thatamp modifications are performing well and attributive the trialperiod program that, as are committed to staying in the program. >> to have an projection on what the default rate will be? >> no, we don't. we are watching it very close to the early signs are th

success or failure, some people say it is a failure, but everyone would agree if you look at the last gaostudy the bottom is 20% of head start is a failure, the bottom the week and is a failure, but the chances of that money reprogrammed is something that follows the outcome, so if we are serious than congress, state legislators, local city have to have the money to repurchase, the money is repurchased for the things you're talking about. those are ways to approach it. >> let me thank the panel. you've been terrific.

gao has issued a study with similar results. we just heard earlier today about consumers union, consumers reports survey. multiple data points and surveys. a lot of people are experiencing the kinds of problems that we heard up here today. today the fcc is releasing detailed analysis of the complaints that we have received on bill shock this year. and it shows some additional information about the problem. 2/3 of the complaints ofhe fcc receives are disputing amounts of $100 or mor. 20% involve $1,000 or more. that's, of course, a bg hit for budget conscious consumers, especially in the time of economic distress. and even smaller unexpected charges can pose real problems forconsumers on fixed incomes or who are unemployed. even if many of these cases are resolved, something is clearly wrong with a system that make it is possible for consumers to run up big bills without knowing it. cases like this are why the consumer bureau under the leadership who i mentioned before issued a public notice in may asking whether there are any te
