There are 160 legislators, and let's say each one had only one staff member present during deliberations. Your $400 for 20 would prorate to $6,400.

Math for the win.

I am not condoning this spending or any other "discretionary" spending however I will say that many elected officials have a choice between public service and corporate jobs which may have larger expense accounts/discretionary dollars available for ostensibly work related matters so we need to keep that perspective.
