Stewart Fires Back at Bolling: You’re the Worst Math Teacher I Ever Had

‘So what I have learned today from my teacher is that $3 billion of taxpayer money is greater than $4 billion in taxpayer money’

STEWART: "Perhaps you are merely a watchdog for the American people and like watch dogs, you do occasionally bark at burglars but mostly just the dishwasher and shadows. For instance, what is the waste, fraud, and abuse in the food stamp program?"
[video clip]
HOST: "More than $3 billion has been lost to trafficking, fraud and overpayments each year."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "You know what, that ain't nothing and I imagine would you agree with me that $3 billion is a lot of money."
[video clip]
BOLLING: "You and I know numbers. I know you know numbers. I assume you know, I know numbers."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "Okay, fine. So knowing numbers and hating waste and fraud as you do. When Democrats were looking to raise revenue in part by ending the wasteful $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies that go to profitable oil companies you said what?"
[video clip]
BOLLING: "The tax breaks or loopholes or tax credits you give to oil companies amount to $4 billion a year. They're a pittance compared to what they are looking for."
[end video clip]
STEWART: "Oh, $4 billion is say pittance, a pittance for the refrigerator set. So what I have learned today from my teacher is that $3 billion of taxpayer money is greater than $4 billion in taxpayer money. I think we're done here.You're the worst math teacher I ever had."
