there is a wonderful German word, "Verschlimmbesserung" - meaning an

an English equivalent?


I don't know of a one-word equivalent, but there's an old saying about giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

Hmm - I always thought of that in people terms... but any examples I could think of off hand might be too politically charged to mention.
I mentioned "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." to exke in an earlier post
