on profits of $82 billion the federal government received $79 billion last year, doesn't seem like a bad deal. The bank performs a bunch of useful functions, fosters stability, bothers Ron Paul, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Personaly I am glad we have an independent central bank, because if congress set monetary policy we would all be fucked.
