Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., laughed at the suggestion, writing on social media Tuesday “why not $500 per hour?”
Assuming he actually worked 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, Senator Cruz’s pay rate, as set by federal law, amounts to around $87 per hour. We know that he doesn’t actually do that much work, so it’s actually going to be much higher.

He also gets financial compensation from other other sources, so his actual per hour compensation is effectively much higher.
Yeah he’s getting way more than just 87/hr from his position.
