#50 in welfare benefits (while #1 in getting Federal aid dollars, voting against Federal aid for others "Here's the vote for Hurricane Sandy aid. 179 of the 180 no votes were Republicans... at least 20 Texas Republicans.", with the aid going to white and wealthier Texans or to Texas' prison industry and private toll road companies)
