Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas,<\/a> accepted a proposal on Twitter that would fundamentally change the way laws are passed in the country.<\/p>\n

Pitched by a Twitter user who specifically named Cruz and fellow Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the proposal stated “if both senators from any individual state” votes against a bill then “that state shouldn\u2019t receive any benefit when said bill passes.”<\/p>\n

Cruz responded: “I accept.”<\/p>\n

The Republican then added: “Same for taxes & job-killing regs, right? If both GOP senators<\/a> vote against them, they only apply to blue states?”<\/p>\n

Such a proposal would drastically change the way legislators approach the lawmaking process and is not likely to ever materialize, but it did not stop people from discussing its implications.<\/p>\n

Some users touted Texas\u2019 budget surplus, contrasting it with California\u2019s interminable spending,<\/a> while others called for more accountability and suggested lawmakers should only take credit for the benefits of a bill if they voted for it.<\/p>\n

The initial tweet was prompted after a Twitter user pointed out that Cruz and Cornyn both voted against a $1 trillion infrastructure package that passed the U.S. Senate and was signed into law in 2021 \u2013 a law that provided billions to Texas.<\/p>\n

All Democrats in the Senate supported the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which a White House fact sheet described as “the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century.”<\/p>\n

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell<\/a> and 18 other Republicans also supported it, which passed 69-30. Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., did not vote.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

While Cruz praised the bill\u2019s merits, he criticized its price tag and called the spending “reckless” and “unprecedented.”<\/p>\n

“This is reckless. And it\u2019s unprecedented. \u2026 This is a trap,” he said in the Senate on Aug. 5, 2021, the Texas Tribune reported at the time. “Listen, for Democrats it\u2019s what they campaigned on. If you\u2019re a Democrat, you want to raise taxes and raise spending. You want more debt from China. That\u2019s what Democrats do.”<\/p>\n

Cornyn agreed with Cruz’s remarks.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no doubt the nation\u2019s transportation and digital infrastructure need improvements, and Texas stands to benefit<\/a> once this bill becomes law\u2026 [but] it isn\u2019t paid for, will add too much to the debt, and was rushed through the Senate in a week\u2019s time without adequate debate or input,” Cornyn said that same month.<\/p>\n

President Biden signed the infrastructure package into law on November 15, 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
