GETTING MORE THAN YOU WANT

The Defense Appropriations Subcommittee has voted to spend $485 million on five new presidential helicopters that President Obama says he does not want.

The subcommittee also voted to spend $369 million on 12 new F-22 fighter jets that Defense Secretary Gates says the Pentagon does not want.

But these are only part of a $636 billion defense spending bill, so what's a few hundred million here and there?
