...regret going on The Daily Show in the first place? -John Puterbaugh, Dekalb, Ill. No one wants to suffer a beat-down. No one wants to be humiliated or embarrassed. I was shocked at [host Jon Stewart's] behavior. I wish he knew about my background, and I wish he knew about a lot of things that I had done, because I think he would've thanked me instead of attacked...

People living on relatively fixed incomes usually do not have the resources to cover their daily expenses for a long time if they lose their jobs or suffer a drop in their earnings. The one thing of value that they had, their home, may currently be worth less than it was 20 or 30 years ago.
