Even though we are #1, I really think we are close to the bottom, when you consider all the aid, from Citigroup and others. In addition to Citi, The federal gov't FHA, many states, JPMorgan Chase, Wachovia, and Bank of America/Countrywide have committed to helping over 1.2 million homeowners between them keep their homes. I found more info on the programs here.

I'd like some of what joncmac's been smoking. The figures just came out: our government's "HOPE for Homeowners" program has helped 42 homeowners to date. Yes, that's right. 42. The "commitments" to help that are being tossed out by these corporations and our government are nothing but window dressing. The only mortgages that can be helped are those that have remained whole and weren't securitized. If your mortgage was securitized, it may now be owned by 10 different entities, any one of which can gum up the works by refusing to participate in the re-write. Someone is blowing smoke...
