You are blurring the lines between private sector vs public. Yes meal costs and expenses should be covered but even with private companies they are scrutinized as expense reports have to be filled out with specifics. It seems like Redford had blank cheques and nobody to answer to. Last I heard it's not normal even for executives to fly around family on company dime.
