In some companies, yes.  Our company has frequently had to make decisions
between new employees vs. new equipment.  Those people we didn't hire
aren't making the money that we didn't pay them because we bought a SUN
workstation.....  In other companies the people up top "from whom all
money flows" will just pocket the difference as an increase in profit.
It's not my fault if you work for a company like that :)

I have not been saying that if you don't spend it in place X it must show
up in place Y, I (and others have been saying) if you spend it in place
X you do not have the option to spend it in place Y.  Surely this is clear
enough now that you don't have any grip left to play silly semantic games
anymore?
