Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, discussed an idea on Twitter that would not allow states to receive benefits from a passed bill if both senators voted against it.
and 18 other Republicans also supported it, which passed 69-30. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., did not vote.
If ever brought to fruition, the Twitter user's proposal would drastically change the way lawmakers conduct business in Congress. According to the fact sheet, Texas will receive at least $26.9 billion for federal-aid highway roads, $537 million for bridge replacement and repairs, $3.3 billion to improve public transportation, $408 million to expand an electric vehicle charging network and $100 million to help provide broadband coverage across the state.
While Cruz praised the bill’s merits, he criticized its price tag and called the spending"reckless" and"unprecedented." "This is reckless. And it’s unprecedented. … This is a trap," he said in the Senate on Aug. 5, 2021, the Texas Tribune reported at the time."Listen, for Democrats it’s what they campaigned on. If you’re a Democrat, you want to raise taxes and raise spending. You want more debt from China. That’s what Democrats do."Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, also voted against the 2021 infrastructure package.
