“I'm suggesting that, until America takes care of its debt, untangles the housing mess and gets unemployment under control, we all commit to working six days a week. Yep, move the standard 35-40 hour work week right up to 48 hours.”

Share & Save

Meaning

This reads as an argument for shared sacrifice in a weak economy, with work time framed as a collective response rather than a private choice. It can be taken to mean that hard times call for longer hours and tighter discipline, and it lands most sharply in a debate about jobs, debt and recovery, where productivity is being asked to stand in for relief.
