Solution

If you were saying "The United States Government should do...," then you would capitalize "Government." But if you were to say "The government of the United States should do...," then "government" wouldn't be capitalized because it's not actually part of the official title. So if it's part of the person, place, or thing's title (Aunt May, etc.), then you capitalize it.
