I remember Ron Johnson pitching his accounting background when he ran for the Senate in 2010.
Fast forward to the overnight wee hours, where his monkey-wrenching bill-reading stunt to intentionally delay COVID aid wasted 11 hours of 100 Senators' time (with $174,000 annual salaries, so about $87 hourly) - so there's a flushed away $95,700 right there.
With thousands more hours of Senatorial staff, security and custodial employees' time also wasted keeping that entire Capitol wing up and running overnight, too.
I'd estimate the cost of Johnson's stunt in the $200,000 range.
Some accountant.
