What does "going" mean here? It looks like "suffering". But I could not find such definition in dictionaries at hand.

It's the literal meaning. Going on = happening/continuing/occurring.

We've both got enough happening in our lives fighting the government.

It's "going on" and not just "going". The two words have to be read together.

Here, "on" is an adverb.

Reading it again, I wonder now if the speaker perhaps meant "We've both got enough going (enough going out of our pockets) on (a preposition) fighting the government". That could fit the next statement, that no billionaire was covering their bills.

You can see this as a language pattern:

to have [quantity phrase] going on

The meaning is about things one has to deal with in one's private or professional life.

I don't have much going on these days.
Sorry, I have a lot going on this week.
We've got enough going on without this.

No, I'm sure you were right the first time.
