At the bottom of this acticle are the names of the republican RINOS that sided with the Democrats. When it's time to vote remember them!

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blasted the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, warning of the massive amount of inflation it would create. The Texas lawmaker spoke about the bill on Thursday, saying Democrats are looking to give billions of dollars to unelected bureaucrats to spend how they please.

He warned the bill would raise prices for everyday consumers and adversely affect manufacturing states like Texas. Cruz added the fact of the matter is the bill spends too much money and it’s not paid for.

“The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill today is roughly 12 times the new spending on roads and bridges,” said Cruz. “So, they’re selling the roads and bridges, but the bill’s 12 times bigger.”

Cruz pointed out the spending in the proposal is greater than what the U.S. spent to win World War II and claimed it is causing inflation across the country. He said Republicans should play their part and say enough is enough.
