Because our country is in so much debt that even saving daylight won't help
No, we don't observe daylight saving times because we are located almost on the equator and there is hardly any seasonal variation in the times of daylight hours.
As of 2006, with the addition of Indiana, there are now 48 U.S. states that observe daylight saving time (all but Hawaii and Arizona, although the Navaho Nation, part of which is in Arizona, does do daylight saving time).
The United States Weather Bureau does list Savannah, GA, as observing Daylight Savings Time in the year 1959. Until the Uniform Time Act of 1966 put the majority of the country on the same daylight or standard times. Until then it was the decision of the locality to observe DST or not.
No. Arizona does not use daylight savings time.

The origin of daylight savings time goes back to 1895. George Vernon Hudson first proposed daylight savings time this year.
Ben Franklin was the first to propose to save the use of candles by getting up earlier in the morning to make use of sunlight, but the US did not implement Daylight Saving Time until WWI. It was to help conserve energy resources for the war. The schedule for DST has changed many times in the US. The last change was made in 2007.
Usually they will have you change your clock to match the time zone that the ship is sailing in, but that is not always the time in the port, because some countries do not follow daylight savings time. You have to always keep track of ship time when you go ashore.
UTC, also known as Coordinated Universal Time, is the same as Greenwich Mean Time. Ham Universe provides a UTC chart for the United States, including both Standard and Daylight Savings times.

Good Question! The Navajo Reservation in Arizona observes daylight savings time (while most of the rest of Arizona does not) because while the largest portion of the Navajo Reservation is in Arizona, parts of it do extend into New Mexico and Utah, both of which do observe daylight savings time. Interesting side note: If you were to travel from say, Grand Canyon east across The Navajo Reservation passing through Jeddito to maybe the Hubbell trading Post, you'd have to reset your watch five times to keep up. Reason? The Hopi Reservation, nestled inside the boundaries of the Navajo Reservation does not change time; and Jeddito is in a very small portion of the Navajo Reservation that lies within the boundaries of the Hopi Reservation.
Daylight Savings Time was designed to "capture" early morning hours of daylight by moving them into the work day and afternoon. In this way, people on a fixed hourly schedule would not have to adjust their work times to take advantage of an earlier sunrise. It is done automatically by adding an hour when the local sunrise is between 6 and 6:30 AM.
