60. And to renters: You get nothing, once again.
Same as it ever was. :argh:

Disclosure: Yes, helping people who made poor decisions to buy overpriced homes during a housing bubble and/or were cheated by unscrupulous lenders is good for the economy and good for those people in underwater homes. But homeowners already get so many perks compared to renters (please remember this latter group tends to be poorer to start with), it would be nice to spread out the wealth a little rather than focusing yet again upon the American Dream of home ownership.
