The Government could save $50 billion per year by having two shifts of white collar employees work each day. Office space costs $50,000/year for each employee yet we only use space 30% of time. We can no longer afford to have banker's hours for all. With over 2 million federal employees this cost-free paradigm change could avoid lay offs/furloughs and reduce pollution.
Horrible but Secret Processing Delays of Obamacare Paper Apps: HHS should tell the truth

How about making all American office buildings 100% more efficient. White collar jobs are the new assembly line. During his Saturday Radio Address, President Obama called for innovation to help us dig ourselves out of the recession. The proposal below could be on of the most innovate ideas since the advent of "interchangeable parts" during the Industrial Revolution. If I told you there was a way to instantaneously double the gas mileage of all vehicles in the U.S. you would call me crazy. However, this simple concept would have the same effect on all of the office space in America, by cutting in half its cost in financial and
environmental terms.
How to implement:
Moratoriam on the government leasing or building new offices. In the future there should be a surtax on new construction that could be used to pay for the retro-fitting of old office space to 2 or 3 shift operations. This would provide work for construction workers who will be building less new buildings
Establish a certification program such as ISO_9000 to verify that all office space is used efficiently.
Extend this concept to medical facilities. We already have all the buildings and equipment needed to provide health care to the 50 million uninsured, we just have to extend the hours they are available to the public.
This is doable and
it is a win-win-win:
for the environment
for the uninsured
for the unemployed
