Republicans in Both Houses Move to Finally Abolish the Time Change

There are plenty of things where taking Washington bureaucrats out of the equation would decidedly make things better.

Most people I know have always hated changing the time. It only adds to confusion politicians already cause. Go back to standard time and leave it alone.
