I have said it on another thread, but if the government want to create another holiday, fine, eliminate one. The very last thing we want for this country is to end up like Puerto Rico, with 24 holidays. No one wants to invest capital there, and that is one major reason.
Take a look at Russia. Not sure how many holidays they have, but it is a bunch, starting with ten days off with the beginning of the new year.
The USA must remain competitive on the world stage.
