Texas Scorecard By Katy Drollinger March 11, 2022

The bill will increase the federal government’s annual spending by 6 percent.

As inflation rates and gas prices continue to skyrocket across the country, the two U.S. senators from Texas, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, took differing stances on a recent $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill needed to fund the federal government for the remaining months of the 2022 fiscal year.

The 2,741-page bill passed through the U.S. House on March 9 and was approved by the Senate the following day.

Cornyn approved the omnibus package, while Cruz voted against the legislation.

Although both legislators are Texas Republicans, they are often at odds. Most recently, Cornyn voted to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, while Cruz requested an audit of the electoral votes.

In a press release addressing the omnibus bill, Cruz pointed to rising inflation rates as one of his main reasons for rejecting the legislation.

Cornyn is a hopeless RINO who does nothing but to burnish himself to keep him in the race as McConnel's replacement.

Cornyn does not represent Texas, but represents himself as a sellout patriot

People need to remember who puts country and state first and that is Cruz, time and time again.

I would vote for him for President in a heartbeat.
