Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : "We're going to pay for it all by raising taxes on the very wealthy and big corporations."
43% : In August, FactCheck.org analyzed similar claims from Democrat and Republican senators that the bipartisan infrastructure bill is "paid for" without raising taxes.
