Politicians need to be like the ball girl

Just got back from Camden Yards, watching the Orioles lose again.
It was a sparse crowd compared to the mid-90s, but everyone there was on the lookout for a baseball to take home.
So one of the hardest jobs at the ball park is the ball girl. She picks up the loose baseballs on her side of the field and decides who gets one.
Around the sixth inning, the Orioles' third base coach - Willie Randolph - tossed a ball into the stands. It bounced back out, and the ballgirl retrieved it.
Did she throw the ball back in the area where the fans missed it?
Nope.
She returned to her seat further down the line, where plenty of fans were waiting for a chance at a baseball.
Everytime she tosses the ball, she has a supply of one baseball. And plenty of demand.
She doesn't ask for more baseballs from management to give to all the deserving fans. She finds one fan to give her one baseball to. Usually that's a kid with a glove, making for a memorable outing.
You had your chance and muffed the ball? Sorry, but you don't get another chance with that ball.
Politicians should think of their budgets as a limited amount. Not everyone can go home happy.
It's tough, but when demand exceeds supply some people will go home disappointed.
