I'd say the uS gov is adept at both. Vote for Ron Paul if your sick of the same old crap in Washington. He's the uS's last hope.

Obviously, you are not Aristotelian, since you are committing a logical fallacy. Have you stopped beating your wife?
The US Government at the moment is good at transferring wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy, and power to the corporate entities that paid for the election of "our" congressional delegates.
If we were at all close to 1776, 'the people" would be looking for a new revolution, in accordance with Jefferson's view that revolution is the only way the people can maintain control of any government. Now is the time for a revolution, because the National Guard (the inheritors of the 'right to bear arms") are all in Iraq, dead, injured or finally realizing how dumb the whole Iraq thing was and is.

Using US taxpayer money to try & solve problems but instead make the problems even worse. For sure.

They are very skilled at both. Your 2nd point is really just a subset of the first category. Money spent with good intentions but with no value delivered has been wasted also.

Know this if nothing else. Your tax dollars go into this big long trough. Then the government pigs and their gluttonous hog lobbyists come out to feed. When they are done filling their viscera they crap all over the place and leave the mess for you to clean up with more tax dollars.

That's a close one.
People tend to notice, eventually, that their $ is going down the tubes. But the govt is like a tidal wave, you can see it coming, but can't stop it.
I'm gonna say making it worse. In the name of 'Bipartisanship' they half *** everything, and then say that they tried, then blame each other.

The two are not mutually exclusive, you know -- the correct answer is that they do both at the same time.

Oh, this is a very tough question. Hard for me to decide what the answer is.

I think they're both the exact same thing.
