Politics being what it is and where the decision will be taken,
No One will ever back off from spending what they want on things they support.

In reality what particular individuals may or may not personally
support is completely irrelevant to what is possible politically.

If it's Not possible politically, then it's not going to happen at
all. There is No authority within the nation that can force it.

And if it's to happen politically, it will involve some Compromise.

Failing that, it won't happen at all. We'll just end up with the same
sorts of ranting noise, but no actual progress.
