approving a budget and decide later how much to pay for and a gain is in place for a long time but peter cook has questions from the audience. we have four minutes left. i will say when i first came, and all time congressman from massachusetts, for every spending bill, i say congressman, if anybody did that it would be anarchy. is this place on the level? >> jim burke. >> let me put a question to your panelists. how would the pedal quantify the overall r o i or stimulus? >> you want to take that first? >> hard to do. a lot of our recommendations for the agencies better evaluate the effect of the stimulus money including the transportation area and other areas so there were controls in place to prevent fraud and abuse but there wasn't enough in my estimation evaluation on a program by program basis what the results really were. >> let's just look at the macro level. in january when the president was sworn in he put his hand on the bible, the economy was dropping at a negative 5.5% rate, cedar decline at that moment in time than the great depression. number 2 almost 800,000 americans lost their

cook. >> we'll check with you later on. peter, great to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> why do you think in melsers at least at this point are wills to look through the guidance for this quarter. >> i think that might be temporary. i think the surprise was the buyback coming on the earnings call, we expected it could come later. that guidance for eps, works out to 650 to 703. that is worse than what we had expected. we think that that's really the story here. when they tell on the call that they added a few million phones inven toshy, we think that caused a little bit of an issue with investors. >> there's nothing going on on the revenue side. so here's a company with decline. you talk about the revenue pressure. yes, they're giving stuff back. i hear you saying this may be a temporary pop. there's nothing to expect until the june conference. this so me is a concern. there's really no wow factor, there's nothing left, other than this is a decent company. and that's not why we own apple. >> the issue is that the prod

peter, it is a rare apology from apple. but the number two market for apple, this is where team cook as the ceo of apple has been focusing his attentions on growing market share. if you look at the numbers of revenue, $7.3 billion was what china delivered in the fiscal first quarter. the size of the growth you see from the market explains why it's so crucial to apple. this started a couple of weeks ago on cctv where there was criticism about the customer relations policy from apple and in regards to the warranty where apple was failing to offer a new warranty or replacement on iphones after a year in case of major repairs. this has been -- the company completely changed its warranty policy on the 4, 4s and the new iphone 5. >> karen, if i can quickly switch dpeers, this is the month of course that our taxes are due. the irs saying it's behind on returning tax refunds this year. what's the deal behind that? >> indeed. the irs is still has outstanding tax returns. it's catching up on some of the tax returns it needs to process. but it's still behind what it processed last year. 7.1 million tax returns has processed through to

peter all of a r.c. berlin. and if you know stay with us just for a moment here in our latest edition of our report on the ancient cook asian region of chechnya here in russia. oh no who lazy bureaucratic and trivial censorship strikes again but this time in russia a bill has been signed into law that will put fines on individuals and legal entities for using vulgar in the media one major flaw of many with this is that they really don't know which words are going to be considered vulgar i guess these words are so awful that they cannot even write them down i'm not naïve there has always been and will always be censorship but this where word list is just silly there is a common expression on the russian internet that russian mainstream media connects them more and is ation of society russian t.v. does have all the bloody violent action movies as well as scandalous talk shows which are kind of like freak shows and plenty of reality t.v. where young people pretty much act like subhuman animals in a cage they've got all that so the government is basically saying that if some guy on t.v. comes there are twenty people blood
