Here's looking at you...

Do you think it's big enough to chuck the government into?

Keep in mind that the Helix Nebula is just under 6 light-years in diameter, which translates to appx. 35,217,317,376,000 miles across.

So the answer to your question should be obvious: Of course it isn't big enough. Trying to stuff the US Federal Government into the Helix Nebula would be like trying to cram the contents of the Pacific Ocean into a 4 ounce Dixie Cup...

I'd love to cram them into a black hole, but I'm worried where they'll come out.

What if they trashed the "peaceful" parallel universe in addition to our own warlike one? Would they collide, like in that BBC7 radio show, "Married"?

I don't believe that black holes really lead anywhere. I know folks sometimes call black holes "gateways to another universe", but that's mostly artistic license. For all intents and purposes, whatever gets dumped in a black hole will stay there until the end of the universe.

OTOH, because of the time dilation caused by the intense gravity, anything dumped in a black hole might survive until the end of the universe... so do you really want to inflict the US Federal Government on every sentient being in the universe until the end of time?

goatse has ruined me from seeing any circular object on the internet without mentally referencing back to it.

Oy. You have my sympathies. I'm not a visual person by nature, so I've managed to recover from my exposure to goatse with few ill effects...
