Four Day Work Week and Our Economy

Our present economic situation is like nothing most of us have seen in our life time. We have gas and energy concerns....high cost and shortage. Businesses laying off employees. Obvious awnser...a manditory 4 day work week. Seem silly? Think about it. If we all worked 4 10 hour days, businesses would have the energy savings of 1 day a week. Wonder how many jobs could be saved? Think about if school buses did not run one day a week, the gas and financial savings would save alot of teaching jobs and pay for alot of teaching supplies.

Wouldn't it be great to have Friday declared as "family day"? Moms, Dads, children spending time together. Look at our First Family, the dog, the garden, a wholesome all America family. It is obvious they enjoy being together. Could it be possilbe they are setting the tone, reminding us of what is really important?

Sound to me like everyone would win. Wonder why we are not hearing any discussion about this?
