From what I can find online there is $12 billion in mortgages outstanding in the US[1]

ICE has an $80 billion budget.

Demand Congress pay off mortgages rather than hand Leon Skum tens of billions.

There you go. Stability.

That says $12,000 billion, not $12 billion. (Aside from the question of paying off mortgages being a good idea or not.)
