Imagine how much government waste there is and how ineffective Democrats have been with taxpayer money that they continue to ask for new "programs" and show little to nothing for it, and now the liberal media is calling them out on it, and to their faces.
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart usually criticizes Democrats and Republicans, but through his political advocacy, he is more of a progressive, so we know he sides with the Democrats more often than not. However, even for a progressive like Stewart, the government's wasteful spending was too much to ignore.
On Monday, he had San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan (D) as a guest. Mahan is currently running for governor in California, backed by Silicon Valley donors like Sergey Brin. Despite that, among the current candidates, he is arguably the best Democrat in the race. He has done some good for San Jose, far more than Gavin Newsom (D) can say about his tenure as governor.
During the conversation, Stewart brought up how Democrats ask for more money from taxpayers but have nothing to show for it when asked about what the taxpayer money resulted in.
