Arizona
voters support the Biden administration’s American Jobs Plan and the American
Families Plan, according to a new survey released this week.
The
American Jobs Plan, a proposal to invest $2.2 trillion in various infrastructure
programs (including repairing roads and bridges, replacing lead water pipes and
improving the electrical grid), had the support of six out of 10 voters, according
the survey by polling firm ALG Research. That includes strong support from 44%
and opposition from 35%.
Meanwhile,
the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan, which would provide tax credits to cover
the cost of health insurance, pay for child care for kids 3-4 years old and
provide two years of free community college courses, had the support of 55% of
voters, while 42% oppose the proposal.
Specific
elements of the two proposals enjoyed even higher support, such as improvements
to roads and bridges (86% support), expanding job training programs so high-school
graduates can enter the workforce without needing a college degree (83%), replacing
aging lead pipes (81%), improving high-speed internet in rural communities
(80%), expanding free childcare (65%) and expanding the use of clean energy
(65%).
The
survey also suggested Arizonans support raising taxes on Arizona’s higher
earners, with 60% supporting raising taxes on Americans earning more than
$400,000 to help pay for the programs. In general, 58% of those surveyed said
that corporations and wealthy Americans don’t pay enough in taxes—an
interesting finding, given that this week, Gov. Doug Ducey signed a state
budget dramatically reducing taxes for Arizona’s top earners and shifting the
state’s tax burden to the middle class.
Those
surveyed balked at proposals to pay for the package with higher gas taxes, with
72% opposing such a hike or indexing the gas tax to inflation. An even higher
number, 84%, oppose a new tax on the number of miles driven, while 69% oppose
higher fees on toll roads.
Half
of those surveyed said they’d rather see Democrats pass the proposal with
higher taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans with only Democratic support,
while just 24% said they’d rather see Congress pass a bipartisan plan that
included higher user fees for low-income and middle-class Americans.
While Biden and Senate leaders say they have reached a compromise on a bipartisan infrastructure proposal, Republican leaders say they won’t support other Biden administration proposals that Democratic leaders say they will try to pass via the reconciliation process to prevent a GOP filibuster in the Senate.
The
poll surveyed 801 likely 2022 Arizona voters via telephone and text-to-web from June
2-8. The margin of error was +/- 3.5%.

So if you believe the poll (I don’t of course) Americans believe in the tooth fairy.
“Those surveyed balked at proposals to pay for the package with higher gas taxes, with 72% opposing such a hike or indexing the gas tax to inflation. An even higher number, 84%, oppose a new tax on the number of miles driven, while 69% oppose higher fees on toll roads.”
I balk at those too, but then I also balk at squandering the money in the first place.
Arizona… and our country, is being controlled by a minority… of extremists. The few wacko Republicans demanding this fake “audit” in Maricopa County… the minority (again Republican wackos) pushing to end women’s control over their reproductive freedom…and now the minority trying to limit the badly needed investment in our infrastructure and our future. Republicans suck.
Biden doesn’t know Bidens policies. How could Arizonans?
Keep them stupid!
Energy independence was trashed by Biden and now Keystone builder wants $15B.
Can Hunter pick up the tab?

Most working people still call that socialism. But now it’s even worse.
By the way all these freebies, when all they wanted was voter ID? And the Congress could not find a way to deliver a non driving photo ID????? Somebody is lying to us.
WES, get a grip! where you get your stats are just as important as the parameters they are constructed by Scrambling a bunch of numerical conclusions into a Yatzee cup wont make legislation.
What is not addressed by any of the studies is the constant demand supply of energy. What is being proposed we need to fund this to get there, because here is not sustainable.
I have an Idea stop fossil fuels put much heavier electric vehicles fund them by the sale of fossil fuel tax’s. The matrix being less fuel sold less roads needed more monies for electric car roads
The conundrum is how much we all have to give up. We dont have industry leaders that are social responsible over investor monies. Most is civil service pension funds this is why inflation is so badly needed to right the ship.
Bottom line come up with product! Not this product to be what we think is needed.
American people are stupid. Inflation gets worse when the government spends too much and borrows too much. The bills aren’t paid for that is a lie.
