The Government is making money from Dams and from Hydro powered electric generators, the Government makes money from Hoover Dam from selling Electricity, and plus they sell water.
In Tacoma, Washington, they had a drought and so the Dam could not produce power because there was not enough water, so the Navy sent the Aircraft Carrier, The Lexington, to Tacoma to provide power for Washington. Washington had to pay the going rate for Electricity that they got from the Lexington, the Government made the same amount of money from the Lexington that they got from providing power with the Dam.

The same way that Anaheim has a General Fund where some money from our Electric Company goes to be spent by the Citizens of Anaheim on City Projects, such as the ARTIC Train Station that we built in Anaheim with money from the General Fund from our Electric Company, and plus some money from the General Fund went to help the homeless here in Anaheim, etc, the USA can have a General Fund with money from selling water and electricity from our Dams such as Hoover Dam, etc, and some of the money can go to helping Homeless Veterans, etc, and for Education in Kentucky, etc, we can build Medical Schools in Kentucky and we can train Doctors right here in Kentucky, etc, and then the Doctors from Kentucky can help our Veterans and our Homeless people.
