Some politicians do solve problems sometimes; it's the bulk of the massive bureaucracy in government that doesn't solve problems, other than feeding itself and ensuring its own propagation.

Honestly, you really can't separate the two. Half the bureaucracy is the direct result of political action, and each political action further constrains the ability to quickly mobilize further political actions due to the necessity of conflict resolution.
It would be more accurate to say some politicians solve problems for some time; after which their solution becomes someone else's problem.
