(DCNF)—Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy said Monday on Fox Business that he would like President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” to address “deficit numbers” and tax policy before giving his approval on it.
Late Sunday, the House Budget Committee narrowly pushed through the president’s budget reconciliation package, with Roy among three other conservatives who pushed back against approving the legislation and voted “present.” While discussing his vote on “The Bottom Line,” co-guest host David Webb asked the representative what else he would need to get him to vote yes, noting he “mentioned the Green New Scam.”
“Yeah, I’d like to see more of the deficit numbers that we’re seeing that are front loaded be brought down. Right now, if you look at the chart with the data and the analysis that is most favorable to the big, beautiful bill, it still shows about 1.4 trillion in additional deficit spending over the first five years,” Roy said. “Then it drops off. In the last five years you get significant deficit reduction so that it works out to be close to a wash.”
“Now, my problem is I’ve been in D.C. for a little bit, but anybody watching this, would you go bet your life savings that in five years we’re going to wake up and find those savings?” Roy asked. “No. The problem is we’re going to be ramping up deficits for the next three or four years. Now, some of that’s OK. Tax policy that we want to put in place for growth, and we want to make sure that we’re dealing with the border and the defense. I get that.”
Prior to its approval, the budget reconciliation package suffered a setback Friday as Republican South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman, Republican Oklahoma Rep. Josh Brecheen and Republican Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde joined Democrats in voting “no” against the bill. However, the four Republicans eventually allowed the package to move forward as it had made “progress” on being more fiscally responsible.
Roy went on to say that his second point would be to address the tax policy within the budget reconciliation package, highlighting how he is still “skeptical” of the “high growth tax policy.”
“But the idea that we’re going to have magical savings in five years never materializes,” Roy said. “I think one other point about this. The tax policy is not high growth tax policy. The expensing is important, but the corporate rate reductions are already permanent. We’re talking about a lot of stuff like child tax credits, standard deductions, lower marginal rates for lower-end brackets. None of that is high growth tax policy.”
“So I’m a little skeptical of the out year on that. I think the growth we’re going to get is from the stuff we’re hearing Scott Bessent and the president talking about. That, by the way, is why we assume 2.6% growth and we assume two and a half trillion dynamic scoring. What I just told you about was all dynamically scored. We still have massive deficits in the first five years,” Roy said.

With Republicans aiming to push through Trump’s legislative agenda, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said Sunday that he hopes to send the reconciliation package to the Senate by Thursday, with the next vote scheduled for Wednesday in the House Rules Committee. Republicans seek to finalize the package by Memorial Day.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
