This is based purely on my experience.

Engineers and scientists in the government are paid for their technical expertise. But, the government is run by politicians. Engineers and scientists generally do not like political realities. They like to deal in facts and truthfully sometimes facts do not fit with political reality really well. So sometimes their technical findings do not rule the day. They don't like this much (trust me on this, I used to give this speech to engineers and scientists at least once a week). Doesn't matter which Administration is in power -- as long as politicians are running the government.
