Saving money is a lip service only scenario. And here's why......if any department spends less each year, then they get less the following year. So what usually happens is that at the end of the cycle, any left over money in the department is quickly spent on a variety of "extras"....although they are not usually extravagant, mostly just office niceties, such as new chairs or desks, etc......not REALLY necessary to have new, but the money must be gone in order to ask for more.
