Here's my understanding of the line "In greed we trust, in revolution we die". The official motto of the United States is "In God We Trust" as of 1956 and has appeared on currency since 1864. To me, Dave is saying that those who serve greed will die in a revolution.
I think this song could apply just as well to previous administrations as current and future administrations and to all levels and branches of government as I don't think it is talking about an act but a trend. This song reads like a warning. The line "surrender your freedom, your social security" could mean surrender your freedom and surrender your social security or could mean an exchange of freedom for social security.
