- Efforts in Congress to stop the changing of clocks have so far exclusively called for a switch to daylight saving time, potentially a boon to leisure providers like golf courses. The push for standard time, however, has picked up steam with supporters of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has promised to “Make America Healthy Again.”
There’s a broad agreement in Washington that changing the clocks in the spring and fall is an unnecessary nuisance. There’s plenty of debate among lobbyists and special interest groups, however, about whether a permanent shift to standard or daylight saving time is the best choice for Americans’ health and the nation’s economy.
