It’s not about mathematics.
But is On sunlight.
“My goal is to make sure people have more sun,” Senator Ed Markey said D-Mass.
“I like to say that you can’t stick the sun,” said Senator Ted Cruz, Tex Republican.
“The American people love to have an extra time of sunlight,” Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla, said.
‘Stop The Clock’: Republican Party, Democrats come together to end the summer savings in health, economic risks
Tax day is about us. Then, millions of Americans hope to obtain a reimbursement from the federal government.
And millions of Americans expect Washington to help them pocket an extra hour of daylight as well.
That is why Congress is trying to maximize the sun.

Some legislators believe it is time to “block the clock.” Choosing the standard time or summer schedule. But the change of clock twice a year can be living in Borredwed time.
That is why the hero of the Senate Trade Committee is the first hearing of the Congress about the change of biannual time for the first time in three years last week.
“We need to stop the clock. We need to find a solution and follow it,” said Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del. “People throughout our country are tired of the constant cycle of retreating and moving forward. I mean, who has forgotten to change their microwave. I think mine is still at the wrong time.”
We live in time: summer savings and the ‘Lords of Time’ of Congress
President Trump has intervened several times in opposition to the change of clock, both during this term in office and during his previous mandate.
In March, the president called him a “number of 50-50”. But Mr. Trump again wrinkled the time conversation with a publication about Truth Social. Despite not taking a position when the United States “emerged,” President Trump emphasized what should go now.
“The camera and the Senate should press hard for more light of the day at the end of a day. WR had the president.

Rick Scott has dealt with the previous time problem. Scott fulfilled two mandates as Governor of Florida before entering the Senate. Scott signed a bill that would let the state of the sun (Figure go) would choose not to participate in the change of time. Similar legislation has bipartisan support in Capitol Hill.
Scott looked at the president’s example.
“We have a great opportunity to finally do this with President Trump on board to block the clock,” Scott said.
But enclose it for an hour ahead? Or an hour behind? There is little agreement.
Trump says that Congress should press “for more light of the day at the end of a day”
The Senate voted to park permanently in the United States in the summer schedule in 2022. Secretary of State and then Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Surprisingly, a bill without objection to any senator advanced.
“Without objection, so it was ordered!” The former Senator Kyrsten Sinema, I-Aarz, exclaimed, who presided over the Senate that day.
“YEAH!” She declared, pulling her arms towards her as a coach who is a crazyness simply pierced a field goal at the end of the game.

But the plan died at home.
“The spring clock change to summer schedule is bad. But the permanent summer savings time is worse,” Karin Johnson, a professor of neurology at the Umass Chan Medicine Faculty. “The posterior sunrises and the sun’s sun savings time stations lead to greater risks of chronic diseases, including, among others, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and these risks of large term of what happens.”
Johnson also told Senators that “standard time throughout the year is a promotion of natural and healthy choice, performance and mental health safety.”
Congress debates the future of summer schedule
Johnson argued that the United States should not “choose something that is the proven and failed leg twice before.”
Johnson is right. The United States has “emerged” forward until summer savings time, or its equivalent, on two separate occasions. In 1918, Congress voted for the Nation to embrace the summer schedule to preserve the World War of the Power Gate. Then Congress unravels it. President Woodrow Wilson vetoed the bill. But Congress annulled it. It is one of the only 112 successful cancellations of presidential veto by Congress in the history of the Republic.
The legislators illuminated the Save Energy Conservation Law of emergency emergency that triggered the summer schedule throughout the year in the mid -1970s. This was in response to the OPEC oil clashes. The nation would remain in summer schedule for two years. But the new time was so unpopular that legislators rejected watches at standard time after only a few months.

However, the permanent summer schedule has its defenders.
Jay Karen, of the National Association of Owners of the Golf Campales, told the senators to change the watches one hour ahead would cause 27 million additional golf rounds in the links every year. Karen estimated that the owners of Golf Campos would pocket $ 1 billion.
“American prefers nightly recreation at dawn,” Karen said.
But do you know who absolutely hates summer schedule?
Convicts!
A study by the University of Washington found that the hardest sentence day of the year is Monday after we advance every March.
The guilt of judges of bad mood who lost an hour or sleeps.
Summer savings time: there must be a law
“Some people receive tougher sentences than they would do it differently,” said Scott Yates of the blocking movement.
Justice can be blind. But you can certainly tell you at the time.
Arizona and Hawaii do not observe the summer schedule.
Senator Todd Young, R-Ind., It is a law of a national solution. Two time areas cut the state of Hoosier.
“We have 12 counties in the western part of the state found in the central time zone,” said Young. “Perhaps a national policy of unique size in time does not take into account the regional differences that the significant daily life of life.”

It all depends on the location. Some people in the north and this will benefit during the year. But the sun will come out too early in the summer and get too early in the winter. Residents at western ends in time areas seem to obtain more sunlight later in the year. But other places? Not so much.
“Hello darkness, my old friend,” Mussed Cruz, channeling Simon and Garfunkel.
Duration The Audience, Cruz told a witness that “his time has expired.”
And that may be the case with the change of time. But no, unless Congress can agree to do.
Only the name of the March change is artificial. It is a classic Washington turn. “Light Saving. “Legislators are essentially trying to convince public life that gets more from something for free. But they are not.

There are only so many hours and minutes of sunlight in the day. Period. It will always get dark too early somewhere. And the sun will always come out too early somewhere. And although Congress has a lot of influence, it certainly cannot control that.
