I hear you, but it really ain’t a question of “will they give it up?” How can they (we) get the money when there ain’t any? That is the question. The answer is easy. We won’t.
Right--so they will have to take over more private means to "take up the slack."
It's an endless loop we're now on--the system is bankrupt, so the government will have to take more from us to save the decades of "investment" we've put in already, and "keep the promises we've made" and blah blah blah.
It's a nightmare, and we're all living it.
