Ted Cruz (R-Texas) gestures as he speaks during a news conference on the U.S. southern border and Joe Biden\u2019s immigration policies, in the Hart Senate Office Building on May 12, 2021 in Washington, D.C. (Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:35 PM PT \u2013 Friday, August 6, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s not paid for.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill today is roughly 12 times the new spending on roads and bridges,\u201d said Cruz. \u201cSo, they\u2019re selling the roads and bridges, but the bill\u2019s 12 times bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tedcruz<\/a> on bipartisan infrastructure bill: &#8220;The roads and bridges part of this bill [\u2026] is about 1\/86th the explosive spending going on.
