Maybe they are, but that depends on how they define "losing money".

IMO, you "lose money" when your expenses exceeds your income. The
business 
world however seems to look at it differently. If a company makes $100 
million in profits in year #1, and makes another $90 million in profits
in 
year #2, they do not claim they "earned 90 million in profits" in year
#2, 
but made a $10 million loss.

That's the way that governments say they lose money. The sports teams
say they are losing money each year the old fashion way....but everyone
gets their salary of course.
