Viper1 is right. In the first half of 2009 alone, USA foreclosures were 1.5 million:

ok, and my figure was over 3.3 million.... so even if you doubled the 3% to 6% thus nearly 7m you still have barely reached the same amount of both stimulus packages and I still feel it would have been far more productive use of the money with far less risk. It would have obviously directly helped those in the most need as well.

"This 3% is more than triple the less than 1% change over the last year of homes lost."

But according to your quote ^ the figure is less than 1 percent, not 3%.  Why did your originally say it was less than 1% of homes and why now are you saying it is over 6% of homes?
