Republicans increase Texas spending more than 10%

According to the Texas Tribune, both houses of the Republican-controlled Texas legislature have passed two-year budgets of at least $194 billion, a big jump from the previous two-year budget of $174 billion.

And the article notes that "the final product is likely to be larger than what either side has proposed."

When Republicans talk about cutting spending, they're lying. In reality, they almost always increase government spending.

We need to cut, not grow, the state budget. That's what Libertarian legislators would do. ​
