I also wonder who voted to write the check....

March 2015
Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)Sen. Ted Cruz argued Monday that any potential White House candidate who's not willing to reject the emerging deal with Iran over its nuclear development is "not fit to serve" as president.
Speaking at a Politics and Eggs breakfast in New Hampshire on Monday, Cruz urged the audience to press other contenders on whether they would "be willing to repudiate" a non-Congressional approved agreement reached with Iran should they become president.
"Any candidate in my view who will not say 'yes' to that is not fit to serve as commander in chief of this country," said Texas Republican senator.
Cruz was one of 47 GOP senators who signed a letter last week to Iran suggesting that the deal needs to be approved as a treaty by Congress in order for it remain a valid agreement when Obama leaves office in January 2017.

Ted Cruz: Iran Deal's $50 Billion Signing Bonus Will Fund Terrorism
By Jason Devaney
July 2015
A $50 billion signing bonus that could be part of the Iran deal will be used to fund terrorism, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz says.
During an interview at the Christians United For Israel conference in Washington, D.C. Monday, Cruz - a Republican candidate for president - said the so-called signing bonus will ultimately help terror groups attack Americans.
"One component [of this deal] I understand is a $50 billion signing bonus of frozen assets that would flow into Iran. That money, we know to an absolute certainty would be used to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, and radical Islamic terrorists throughout the Middle East, throughout Latin America and the world," Cruz said, the Christian Post reports.
"That money would be used to murder Americans, Europeans, Israelis. This deal, if it is consummated, would transform the United States government into being one of the leading financiers funding terrorism against Americans."
"It makes no sense whatsoever and we are going to have over the next couple of months a serious debate over the Iran deal. It is my hope that the American people will rise up. I would give a call of action of the men and women of CUFI that it is critical that each and every one of us reach out and highlight the threat."
Later, Cruz accused the Obama administration of "appeasement."
"The truth of the matter is that Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and President Obama are all perfectly fine with Iran having a nuclear weapon," Cruz said. "The inevitable outcome of this deal is either one of two things will happen. Either Iran will acquire nuclear weapons or there will be military conflict. This hardy deal makes military conflict more likely. ..."

Cruz: Iran deal is a 'historic mistake'
By Mark Hensch
April 2015
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Saturday argued that finalizing any pact with Iran over its nuclear arms research would instantly produce one of the worst diplomatic deals of all time.
"It is a historic mistake," Cruz told listeners at the New Hampshire Republican Party's First In the Nation leadership summit in Nashua, N.H.
"Every year in Iran they celebrate 'Death to America Day,' " the 2016 GOP presidential hopeful added.
"If history teaches any principle, it is that if somebody says they want to kill you, believe them," he concluded.
Cruz argued that even a framework accord with Iran would jeopardize global safety. Setting its details in stone, he charged, would prove catastrophic. ..."

WASHINGTON--Sen. Ted Cruz claimed the Obama Administration has prevented American terror victims from receiving compensation for their losses and called the Iranian nuclear deal "the worst betrayal."

Sen. Cruz: We Still Have an Opportunity to Tell the Truth About Today’s ‘Mistake of Historic Proportion’
Congress Must Stop a Deal that Puts Iran on Path Toward Nuclear Bomb
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=2374
I will be willing to go way out on a limb and sat that the muslim who currently occupies the White House at the demand of a majority of the voters of America paid for those things. And while still on the limb, go out a little further, and offer the opinion that those in the Congress of the United States of America who voted for the Iran Nuclear Treaty voted to write the check. And while the check may have been modest in its amount, it was the first of many that will follow it. I would also be remiss if I did not give credit due to the voters that voted the players into office.
It does not have anything with the price of eggs in China, but just for kicks, how many of those who voted for the Iran Nuclear Treaty also hate Donald Trump’s guts?
yep
