On Monday night's "Daily Show," Jon Stewart slammed the VA (who've gained quite a rep in the last year) before moving onto Congress for pouring billions of dollars into war efforts but failing to provide basic health care for those returning from war.
"When it comes to veterans, Congress are just deadbeat dads," Stewart said. "They will spend a tremendous amount of time and money to get a chance to unload the ammunition."
