Rep. Robert Dean, from the 75th District, offered the following invocation:
“Eternal and All-powerful God, we pause in the midst of our days occupations to lift our hearts to Thee. Where else can we go for the words that are throbbing with life and power? Our hearts are filled with deep emotions as we contemplate what it means for people like ourselves to call Thee at the same time, both Father and God. It is in the manner of a child that we approach You. We know that Thou art understanding and most considerate, as well as the source of mercy and patience. In Thee there is so much that we desire, but dare not expect to ever become our portion. We have been saying over and over again that this is the most solemn and serious hour in our nation’s history. This thought sobers us and reveals how helpless we are as we attempt to shape the affairs of the world. We are hearing the bells of eternity as they called us to a new dedication of time, talent, and strength to the demands of Thee. We are unable to fathom the depths of Thy love and we are baffled when we consider what we are at this moment. God we need Your help, that Your spirit would penetrate into our souls to cleanse, refine us for the living of these days. And God, please forgive us when we have failed You. Upon satin homes may Your richest blessings rest, with its healing helping title wave of spiritual power and may seekers after Thee, behold Your faith of which light and love from above are visible. Amen.”

The Speaker Pro Tempore assumed the Chair.

House Resolution No. 49.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact H.R. 155, the Suspension of Federal Income Tax on Unemployment Benefits Act of 2009.
Whereas, Our nation’s system of unemployment insurance was established in 1936 to lighten the burden of involuntary unemployment on the unemployed worker and the worker’s family. With Michigan leading the nation with the highest unemployment rate, currently 11.6 percent, the burden of involuntary unemployment impacts us all. Indeed, with the unemployment rate at the highest we have seen since the early 1980s, families and businesses all across the Great Lakes State have been devastated by the forces of our ravaged economy; and
Whereas, The current recession is wider and deeper than any our nation has experienced since the Great Depression. Even those with previously recession-proof jobs find themselves losing them and filing for unemployment. To add insult to injury, these benefits are now subject to federal taxes. Those who are barely scraping by from week to week on unemployment benefits will find themselves subject to a huge and often unexpected tax bill on April 15, because federal taxes are not withheld from their benefit checks; and
Whereas, Unemployment benefits became taxable in association with the 1986 reforms in the federal tax code. In a period of relative prosperity, this change was viewed as a painless way of paying for the many tax reductions in the reforms. Now, however, the inequity, and utter absurdity, associated with taxing unemployment benefits is clear cut. Those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own should not be additionally burdened by our tax code. This is recognized in Michigan by the provision of a special exemption for taxpayers with more than 50 percent of their income from unemployment, and by the recent stimulus package, which exempts the first $2,400 of unemployment from 2009 taxes. These measures do not go far enough considering today’s economic realities. We need to offer substantive tax relief; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact H.R. 155, the Suspension of Income Tax on Unemployment Benefits Act of 2009; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Labor.
