   Arizonans are sounding off on whether they think Sen. Kyrsten   
   Sinema, D-Ariz., should support the massive Democrat-backed   
   social spending and taxation bill that was agreed upon as part   
   of a deal between Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Majority Leader   
   Chuck Schumer.   
      
   Sinema announced Thursday evening that she would "move forward"   
   with the bill, officially called the Inflation Reduction Act,   
   after previously signaling changes would have to be made in   
   order to for her to agree to supporting it.   
      
   Fox News Digital spoke to a number of residents on the streets   
   of Arizona to get their take on the bill, as well as whether   
   Sinema should agree to it considering it would lead to tax hikes   
   on middle class Americans.   
      
   "I believe she should, yes, if only because it's going to help   
   the economy," said resident Willis Daychild. "I'm all for it   
   because this inflation is pretty outrageous right now, and if   
   they can do something to curb that somehow, then I'm all for it."   
      
   Resident Gary Kuznia disagreed, saying, "No way," and suggesting   
   he had such strong feelings about the bill that he was   
   intentionally keeping his language clean for the camera.   
      
   He predicted the bill would not do anything to help fix the   
   massive level of inflation currently facing Americans, and that   
   it would lead to increased taxes on Americans despite promises   
   that it would not.   
      
   "I hope she doesn't cave. I really do. I like her. Even though   
   I'm a conservative, I really like her. I hope she doesn't," he   
   added.   
      
   Resident Richard Carrillo expressed that he was not worried   
   about the likelihood of increased taxes from the bill, claiming   
   that Sinema should support it "if it's going to help us out."   
      
   "Yeah, I would. I would support it … I think she should back   
   it," he said.   
      
   "As far as I'm concerned, you just don't know if that much money   
   is going to combat inflation," resident Joseph Nunez said. "But   
   without solid, concrete evidence on how it's going to work, I   
   really don't think she should back something that's three   
   quarters of a trillion dollars. That's a lot of money."   
      
   "I just don't know if she should back that without details in   
   how that money is going to be spent and where it's going to be   
   spent, so it can trickle down to the places where it needs to   
   go," he added.   
      
   Sinema's support for the bill means it will likely pass through   
   the Senate in a narrow vote that could see Vice President Kamala   
   Harris forced to break a 50-50 tie.   
      
   Earlier on Thursday, Schumer announced that the Senate would   
   reconvene Saturday afternoon and would vote to begin debate on   
   the bill.
