Expressing the sense of the Congress that the current Federal income tax

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 6, 2011 
Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California (for himself, Mr. CALVERT, Mr. MEEKS, 
Mr. MANZULLO, Mr. HINOJOSA, and Mr. BACA) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the current Fed-
eral income tax deduction for interest paid on debt se-
cured by a first or second home should not be further 
restricted. 
Whereas homeownership is a fundamental American ideal, 
which promotes social and economic benefits beyond the 
benefits that accrue to the occupant of the home; 
Whereas homeownership is an important factor in promoting 
economic security and stability for American families; 
Whereas it is proper that the policy of the Federal Govern-
ment is and should continue to be to encourage home-
ownership;

Whereas the national homeownership rate for the third quar-
ter of the year 2010 was 66.7 percent; 
Whereas the housing needs of the population will change as 
the population ages; 
Whereas the greatest growth sectors in homeownership are 
minorities and first-time homebuyers; 
Whereas the level of homeownership among foreign-born nat-
uralized citizens is the same as the level of homeowner-
ship of the Nation as a whole (67 percent in 2009); 
Whereas the value of a home represents a valuable source of 
savings for a family; 
Whereas the provisions related to homeownership are among 
the simplest and most easily administered provisions of 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; 
Whereas the current Federal income tax deduction for inter-
est paid on debt secured by a first home has been a valu-
able cornerstone of this Nation’s housing policy for most 
of this century and may well be the most important com-
ponent of housing-related tax policy in America today; 
and 
Whereas the current Federal income tax deduction for inter-
est paid on debt secured by second homes is of crucial 
importance to the economies of many communities in 
each of the 50 States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Congress that 
the current Federal income tax deduction for interest paid 
on debt secured by a first or second home should not be 
further restricted.

Whereas taxpayers have subsidized the energy industry with 
grants, direct loans and loan guarantees, and tax credits 
aimed at specific industries for decades; 
Whereas deductions and cost-recovery mechanisms available 
to all energy sectors are different than credits, loans and 
grants, and are therefore not taxpayer subsidies; 
Whereas a deduction of costs and cost recovery with respect 
to timing is not a subsidy; 
Whereas the current system of energy subsidies is opaque 
and unduly complex; 
Whereas energy subsidies have consistently failed to bring 
down the price of gasoline for consumers, and electricity 
and natural gas for industrial users; and 
Whereas eliminating energy subsidies from the Internal Rev-

of corporate income tax without increasing deficits: Now, 
therefore, be it
