In honor of our recent transfer back into Standard Time, and because my previous suggestion to "Fall Back" every week has gone mostly unheeded, I have a new plan for Daylight Savings Time.

When we "Spring Forward" in March, it is often said that we "lose an hour", and consequently when we turn our clocks back again in the Fall we are said to "gain an hour". However, when I put my money in the bank, I gain interest on my investment (unless I put it in the Bank of America, in which case I get charged a $5 convenience fee). I propose that when we gain our hour back in the Fall, it should have accrued some sort of interest based on the current rates. It's only fair. Imagine Springing forward one hour and then Falling back 1.13 hours. You could even elect not to turn your clock back in the Fall so that your hour could gain more interest, then next year Fall back even further.

It's revolutionary ideas like these that will one day lead our nation to greatness.
