How much is this costing taxpayers and how much time are these senators taking away from current business they should be taking care of?

According to John Stossel, in 2004, the total amount expended on the military (including the GWOT) was $454 Billion dollars. By the same token, the total amount expended on public education was $536 Billion dollars.

Which do you think was a better bargain?

Actually one might well pose the question of how much money are the taxpayers being saved by distracting the Senate from their busines as usual.
