This is a good article. I was shocked to see that the top area of foreclosures near a base was Columbia, SC. WOW! I like the idea of a buyout program from the DoD. I don't understand why the military doesn't offer something like that.

Note this link is an executive summary of a white paper that was too long to post on this forum.


Note that the current poll on this site refers specifically to such a forum and you may want to participate in that poll. Also, we established a mail campaign to Congress at the following link: www.moresam.net It has Congressional names / addresses and we would encourage you to participat in it as well. The fact is, Congress needs to hear from you and thousands of other Military Families! Joe
