Three conservative on the committee, Reps. Chip Roy, R-Texas, Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., all members of the Freedom Caucus, have expressed hesitancy toward approving the package. Roy told Fox News on Monday that the U.S. is "barreling toward unlimited debt," and that "the American people didn't send me here to just do what the defense establishment, the spending appropriators all want to do in this town which is to spend money we don't have."
