Eastern Standard Time is the same as Central Daylight Time, and Mountain Standard Time is the same as Pacific Daylight Time. Make Pacific and Central time zones remain on permanent Daylight Saving Time, and make Mountain and Eastern time zones remain on permanent Standard Time. This will end all need to reset biological and mechanical clocks twice a year, and it will reduce the number of US time zones from four to two. People doing business between the East and West coasts will have only a simple and fixed two hour time difference to contend with. See...http://www.standardtime.com/

Why two time zones? Why not just one - it works for China. (Compare that to 8 time zones in Russia).

Is Daylight Savings Time even needed anymore?

DST saves a tremendous amount of energy - it's especially needed now. This < href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_Saving_Time#Rationales_for_DST">Wikipedia article explains it a little.
