Survey: Cruz, Cornyn offices among Senate's most expensive
I'm guessing that, especially in the Senate where there is no districting, expenditures are going to be higher in larger and more populous states(More territory to cover, more assistants needed to handle the larger influx of phone calls, emails, etc.) as the story above would indicate. The largest populations are, in order California, Texas, New York and Florida.I'm guessing that the Tea Party is going to have a hard time having folks take them serious if they make excuses for their leaders not cutting their own congressional budget while expecting the rest of government to cut theirs.
The fact that California and Texas Senators spent the most is a non-story to me for that reason.
Now the amounts each office is spending may be a story but at an average of 2.5 million to run a Senate office including salaries, office equipment and travel doesn't really seem out of line. Originally Posted by boardman
WTF, you moronic buffoon why don't you stop representing the TEA Party, their policy stances and their politicians? Your poor reading comprehension, inability to form logical conclusions and neurotic hatred for them makes you laughable.OK TURDfly, why don't YOU represent the TEA PARTY! What the fuck do they have to say about Cruz's penchant for wasteful government spending? What the fuck do they have to say about his elitist, wealthy, 1%-er, CANADIAN OIL MOGUL background?

If Ted Cruz was in fact a Liberal he would have spent much more than 3.8 Million. So consider yourselves lucky.Lucky...that some SOB can run on cutting government spending, you vote for him and he can't even cut his on congressional spending. And then you Tea'billies defend him!

Texas has 26 Million people, ya want to sing the praise of the Democrats over in California they'll show ya what excessive spending is California is going bankrupt. What about that economic experiment the Democrats tried in Detroit ya wanna sing their praise too, I bet you do. Detroit looks like a war zone. Texas is as big as a small country it's not in trouble financially it's one of the most prosperous states in the country. Big deal so Cruz spent a little more than the other guy. You're really not worried about it anyway, cause you know it's not a major issue for Texas, besides Cruz is a conservative that's what bugs ya the most. So forget about that article it was written by an idiot anyway.
He should then at the very least spend less than his counterpart in Texas , John Cornyn.
Ted Cruz spent more than Cornyn.
If that is how he plans on cutting government spending then he should fit right in with the rest of them....but is that what you Tea'billies wanted? A big spender on his personal comfort? Originally Posted by WTF
