"The government" isn't an agent and doesn't respond to incentives. It is a whole bunch of different people with different careers and roles. I wouldn't expect an FDA researcher, a naval officer, a State Department staffer, and a senator to have the same incentives regarding policy, for instance.
Which people do you think have an incentive like that?
The Administration, aka the White House.
