You are totally wrong. Do the math yourself.
POpulation of the USA = 300,000,000 (300 million)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States#Demographics
POpulation of Sweden = 9,060,430
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden#Demographics
Homeless in USA = 3.5 million (3,500,000)
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4305.htm
Homeless in Sweden = 8,440
3.5 million is 8.5% of 300,000,000 (USA)
8,440 is 1.07% of 9.06 million (SWEDEN)
So basically, you're tryng to tell me that 1.07% is twice as much as
8.5%?

Here's the real rub, though. IN all of those countries -- Canada,
Sweden, and the rest -- homeless does not translate into "living on the
street or shanty-towns and begging for handouts from strangers". In all
of those countries, government programs exist to provide help to all of
the homeless people, including free housing, medical care, job-search,
and more. You can't tell who the homeless people are in Sweden if you
visit, because they are cleaner, healthier, and usually very short-term
homeless.
