Well, he represented the Vets pro bono on the Mohave Desert Memorial before the Supreme Court. That would amount to a nice chunk of change.

But he made up for the freebie on other cases.

http://www.thedailysheeple.com/read-ted-cruzs-2009-defense-of-obamas-stimulus-as-an-aid-to-americas-economic-recovery_042015

..."But before entering politics, when he was a $695-an-hour lawyer in private practice, Cruz once delivered a full-throated defense of the stimulus spending he now condemns. In a little-noticed legal brief Cruz filed in July 2009 on behalf of the Texas Retired Teachers Association, he argued in favor of the legality and constitutionality of the Texas state government using federal stimulus money to cut a one-time $500 check to some 250,000 retired teachers. Moreover, Cruz touted the economic benefits of the payments and noted that they would help fulfill the mission of Obama’s stimulus. These $500 checks, Cruz wrote, “will directly impact the [Texas] economy…and will directly further the greater purpose of economic recovery for America.”

Nice symbolic move, granted. What it did for vets’ health, etc., might be questioned.

I wonder if he gets credit for HIS money that the town of palm Beach, Florida gave to the VA HOSPITAL in West Palm Beach.

Donald was sued by the city of PaalmBeach for having a flagpole at Mar a Lago rhat was too tall for the town ordinances. He was fined by the day and when the sum reached $127,000 Donald “Made a DEAL with the town. He would shorten the flagpole to the height the town demanded but he would only pay $100,000 AND that $100,000 had to be turned over to the V A HOSPITAL in West Palm Beach. The town agreed and the money was received and turned over to the hospital.
THEN Donald cut the height of the flagpole to the proper height, built a mound elsewhere on the property and reinstalled the flagpole. The length of the flagpole is the required height, but it is the same height in the air as before! Palm Beach got a taste of Donald’s “Negotiating” talent. All Palm Beach is laughing!

THAT is the kind of negotiating i want for America. The one man who cn do it is TRUMP.
