According to The New Bottom Line's report, "The Win/Win Solution: How Fixing the Housing Crisis Will Create One Million Jobs," if the banks fix what they broke and wrote down principals on all underwater mortgages to current market value, it would inject a direct cash stimulus into the economy, redirecting billions of dollars that cash-strapped homeowners are currently paying on inflated mortgage debt toward other job-creating sectors of the economy and ultimately help to rebuild strong and vibrant communities.

The report includes both a state-by-state breakdown of the number of underwater mortgages in your state and the money that drains from the state. It also documents if principal reductions were made how much the average homeowner would save per month, the amount that would be pumped into the local economy, and the numbers of jobs created.
