1. Human beings don't need daylight. Evolution disagrees with you.
2. Americans schedule their day based on television. The trends towards time shifting the medium are increasing. The television audience is decreasing due to competing forms of entertainment.
3. It would be easy. Our infrastructure is built around the current framework. Who here has seen bugs from moving DST this week? I know I have.
4. States would cooperate with this plan when we have two that ignore the established system. We have states that enjoy flaunting less intrusive national laws that effect far fewer individuals.
5. Congress can't even pass a budget. They have important issues that need to be addressed that they are unable to resolve. The ineptitude and inefficiencies are dragging down our economy, our reputation and our elected representatives seem to only be concerned with their own jobs.
If you want to fix something, let's start with something that is actually broken.
