It may also be joked that some politicians aren't solving actual problems (but creating new ones) in their day job.
It would be more accurate to say some politicians solve problems for some time; after which their solution becomes someone else's problem.
By creating problems, they solve a problem of a lack of suitable problems. Thus creating the much needed liquidity in the free market of problems.
