There is just no way to square this circle. None whatsoever. After witnessing the serious destruction that major flooding just caused in his home state of Texas, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz made an iron-clad promise to his constituents:
"Today, Texans are hurting. They're hurting here in San Marcos. They're hurting in Wimberley. They're hurting in Houston. They're hurting across the state.
"Democrats and Republicans in the congressional delegation will stand as one in support of the federal government meeting its statutory obligations to provide the relief to help the Texans who are hurting."
It would be an eminently reasonable assurance to make, if only Ted Cruz were a reasonable man. But he's not. We all know he's not. When Hurricane Sandy wreaked even greater damage across the Northeast in 2012, Cruz told his suffering fellow citizens to get bent:
"This bill is symptomatic of a larger problem in Washington—an addiction to spending money we do not have. The United States Senate should not be in the business of exploiting victims of natural disasters to fund pork projects that further expand our debt."
what is even more egregious Texas has said it wanted to secede and have nothing to do with the rest of us and our Black Pres. but now when it's their turn in the barrel the federal gov't has a "statutory obligations to provide the relief to help the Texans who are hurting." why??????????????????????
is he just learning a lesson from Eric Cantor who refused disaster relief to Va. his home state until they can see where it's paid for needless to say he was kicked out of office.
keep in mind they have no problem with spending millions to deny you healthcare 56 times or witch hunt Benghazi still counting.
