The government's job should be to not be swayed by lobbyists, do their own analysis and make policies that best serve the country long term.

I prefer to deal with the world as it is, rather than as I wish it to be. The US government has never worked the way you describe.

Unfortunately, when it comes to legislation and budget considerations (including education), lobbying works.
