Poor Heidi Cruz. She and Ted can't afford a second house.

[MoonRiver]

Whatever will the neighbors think!

Heidi Cruz was mocked on Twitter for appearing to suggest that she and husband Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) couldn’t afford a second home because his lawmaker salary is only $174,000 per year.

Cruz, a Goldman Sachs managing director, said in an interview with The Atlantic that she was working 70-hour weeks as the family’s “primary breadwinner.” She said she nevertheless was supportive and “mission-driven” on what her spouse is “accomplishing.”

The comments at the end of this piece are priceless!

6. On that thread, somebody said her salary is around $500,000!

Maybe they want the second house to be a castle in Scotland.

7. That Would've Been My Guess

but I could only find the 300K number. So approx 600,000 a year and let's not forget the free healthcare and other perks like the 3mil he gets to run his office and pay for expenses.

9. The Average Pay Of A Person With Her Job. . .

. . .is more than 380k per year. It's readily available information.

That makes the yearly income, excluding any investment income well over a half million a year.

They can afford a 2nd home.
