Remember last month when Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) told GQ Magazine he didn’t know how old the Earth was? And did you know there was a healthy theological debate on the age of the Earth?

I’m talking to you card-carrying NRA member or anyone who says “now is not the time to talk about gun control.” This is the standard refrain after each violent high-profile event involving guns. Quite honestly, I’m tired of hearing it.

To paraphrase MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, saying you will never raise taxes, only lower taxes, is indefensible. There is no intellectual argument that justifies signing a pledge stating you will never raise taxes under any circumstances.

In the years since World War II (1946-2011), federal tax receipts have averaged 17.7% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is probably the best way to gauge the federal tax burden because it compares it to economic output.

If I’ve repeated one thing more than any other, it’s the need for increased infrastructure spending. And the reason is simple — upgrading America’s roads, bridges, rail, electrical grid, etc. makes for good use of public money.

Unlike global warming, where no single storm event can be directly attributed to a warming planet, we can directly attribute infrastructure failures with lack of public and political will. No, we do not know the exact cause of today’s train derailment and bridge collapse in Paulsboro, NJ, but we do know that events like this will become more common if we continue to allow America’s infrastructure to deteriorate. The bridge collapse and train derailment resulted in a chemical spill of vinyl chloride into the Mantua Creek. Over 70 people received medical treatment due to the spill.
