The Government can't run a whorehouse so you give them your banks

When this hit my mailbox, I was like oh no this can't be true:

Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the entire economy of our country to same guys who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling booze? 

I mean like we all know how the government threw away millions in their failure to help Katrina Victims. And spent how much on a Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska.  And state and local agencies this year have not paid $254 million in tax's due because they can't run a "local agency" efficiently. And continues to pay pensions to convicted lawmakers/breakers.

But come on. Fail at running a whorehouse that serves booze in Nevada???  What,  No slot machines (whoops sorry, bad wording)? The deck wasn't "Stacked enough" (whoops sorry again)?  Someone "crapped" out  (oh jeez, somebody stop me)?  Nobody would take a spin on the Roulette wheel  (hmm how much duck tape would that need)? Were they dealing to many dead mans hands and nobody could "Bump and Raise" (Lord I'm sick, everybody that has your purple wings raise your hand)? Maybe they were holding their "cards to close to the their chest" and had to "hold and fold".

Or maybe the gov'ment was making the clients produce to many picture id's and fill out to many "procurement" request, wasn't providing enough "cultural diversity" and making people wait in to long a line while they inspected "hanging chads".

So this can't be true right?  Guess what? I asked Papa Joe if he could find me a link to that little gig.
Here it is (from FOX news no less, so you know that yes it is fair and balanced, ):

So yes, it is true. The government could not make a go of running a whorehouse. So as sick as this little puppy might be, I'm thinkin givin the country control of our banks wasn't a real healthy idea.

from CNBC:
"Until we get to that point, where as an investor you can understand what other investors are doing, you are going to see this rush for the exits at the end of the day," Tinker added.
