The answer is the ultra-wealthy. Those on welfare are getting increasingly poor, while the ultra-wealthy are getting increasingly wealthy. It's clear where the money is going, and it's not to poor people.

The US administration is threatening to invade the territory of an EU member state, so I'm not sure the use of 'enemy' is too hyperbolic.

These buttons are essentially panic buttons, and when a person is panicking the big red exit button might end up being the only exit they can find.
