Shouldn't they have a stock symbol for all the money they appropriated through the years? It's a publicly funded institution, so maybe it should be traded publicly as well.

The stock symbol DEA is already taken†. It belongs to Easterly Government Properties, a REIT which leases commercial property to federal agencies, such as "the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service ...". Market cap $616m.
