immie....spending money to save money is COMMON in the private sector.
as example: a company putting in Geothermal heat will cost more initially but save them big in the long run..... investing in a new energy efficient building or retrofitting an old building with energy efficient insulation....
Buying new, more proficient machinery vs using the inefficient old machinery may cost more initially but save them money in the long run.
Spending more for a better material for their proiduct, may cost them more in the short term, but save on defective returns in the long run...
See what I mean?
It really is done ALL THE TIME, in many businesses.
