Does the United States government solve problems or make them?

If you took all of the problems in the world and in the country, put them in a bowl, and pulled each one out and put them in the [solve] pile or [made worse] pile; which one would be greater when the bowl was empty.?
What examples can you give of the US government doing good in the world?

Government creates problems.

Our country isn't all bad. Anything governed by men is going to have good parts and bad parts.

It isn't. But I have a tough time remembering anything we've done well at lately.

We can still speak our minds... I'd invite you to ask other Western Allies about their rights, but they'd likely be fined or jailed if they answered honestly.
We aren't putting our kitchen knives in bins like in Britain.
We aren't wholesale slaughtering suspected Down's pregnancies.
We aren't perfect, but we are the fuggin BEST.

Is this rhetorical?

They’re magicians. They made $80,000 of my tax dollars disappear this year

The US Navy keeps shipping lanes protected.
The US has been able and willing to help people affected by Natural Disasters.
The US military is the reason all of Europe doesn’t speak German or Russian.
Trump has negotiated peace deals between countries, saving lives.
USAF take out of Iran’s nuclear facilities is a huge positive.
If there was no USA, the world would be so much worse off. It isn’t that we are so good, it is that others are so evil.

If it wasn't for America, Russia ans China would control most ofnthe world, mostly China. Would be interesting to see what would happen to the Muslim influence with those 2 running everything.

Yes. The US military would have been in the [solved] pile for sure. Do you have anything else besides "natural disasters" because the Clinton Foundation makes this a debate.

They invent problems, call themselves the solution, then throw our money at the solution.

It makes problems. It's run by psychopaths, so we're already off to a bad start. Then, let's just pretend that they are angels. It is impossible...a mathematical impossibility that they can know best how to allocate resources. Lastly, by government "taking care" of so many things, it takes the onus "off" of most people to help their communities directly, because now most people think "government should take care of that".
The bigger the government, the smaller the individual.

Both.
Alot of our interference in the world is motivated by multinational corporations that need help/assistance to get into, influence, or control different markets.
Their money/lobbyists control DC. Intelligence services report "Intelligence " that justifies whatever action is desired and the military or Intelligence services take action.
Im sure I missed some, but that's basically it.

There's gotta be a 'vicious cycle' meme out there that perfectly describes this.

The question you asked is the actual playbook of the dem policies. You create the issues then state that you are the only ones that can fix

We intervened in Iran in 1953 to throw out a socialist and got an 8th century theocrat 2 decades later.
We intervened in Afghanistan for 2 decades only to have the Taliban in power today.
We intervened in Iraq twice to get rid of Saddam and he was replaced by ISIS.
We intervened and got rid of Gaddafi in Libya and it's been ravaged by a continued civil war and is a failed state.
We intervened and helped topple Assad and now Syria is governed by a man who was part of Al Qaeda.
We make problems. And it isn't by mistake, it's by design.
