Retaking the ethical high ground is needed to combat such cynicism. Unrealistic expectations about the capacity of government enterprises are at the root of this problem. Government organizations are no more, nor less, successful than others at achieving their mission. Given that the complexity of the mission of many government agencies is marked by ambiguity and contradiction, it is a testament to the dedication of public employees that as much gets done as it does . We must better understand the incomplete nature of most assignments; funding changes, policy changes, politics changes.

Cynicism may be born from the unreasonable expectation that the policy made can be implemented.
