You missed a few...

When the house and senate “dining rooms” (restaurants for the house and senate staffers and guests, as well as the congress-critters) were run by the house and senate, they constantly had to be “bailed out” by congress, just to meet payroll and pay their bills. Once they were contracted out, they became self supporting.

But the BEST was when the Mustang Ranch, at the time, the best known, most famous legal brothel in NV, was taken over by the feds, because the owner, Joe Conforte was charged with tax evasion and fled the country. It was a business that was generating millions in profits, but after the feds took over, it began losing money, and eventually the government closed it down, unable to make money selling sex. This is probably the first time that’s happened in all of the history of mankind.

Actually, the government figured we were all getting screwed enough by them, so we didn't need anymore sex from anywhere else....
