Simplified Meaning:

When the government tries to fix a problem, their solution often ends up creating new problems or making things worse. For example, imagine your city has a lot of traffic jams, so the government decides to build more roads. While this sounds like a good idea, it might lead to cutting down trees, disrupting neighborhoods, and eventually causing even more cars to come, which makes the traffic problem just as bad, if not worse. This idea shows that government actions sometimes have negative side effects that are just as troublesome as the original issue. People can learn from this by carefully thinking through all the possible outcomes of a solution before taking action. It's important to consider whether the fix might create new problems that need to be solved.
