.jonstewart clashes with tedcruz over burn pits bill: 'None of this makes any sense'
Jon Stewart chastised Sen. Ted Cruz for voting against a bill that would aid military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, calling the reasoning offered by the Republican, who has made headlines responding to the comedian's criticisms,"scattershot" and"all over the place."
Cruz has stood out among his peers as a foil to Stewart, as the senator from Texas sought to refute the comedian's criticisms of Republicans. The senator stressed he does support the PACT Act, but he opposes a Democratic provision that he says would move appropriated funds from discretionary to mandatory spending.
"What I want to do is treat it for government accounting purposes the way we have always treated it for government accounting purposes, because if we change it to the way that the Democrats want, it creates room in future budgets for $400 billion of totally unrelated extraneous spending on other matters. That's what I want to prevent," Toomey told CNN's Jake Tapper on State of the Union.Stewart shot back at Toomey during an apperance on ABC's This Week.
