well Winnie I'm sure you can come up with the loan money if you want. I am just trying to be realistic and I have never figured the Government owes me much especially if I created the situation considering a lot of expats do not pay taxes while overseas. The emabassys are not here to give finacial assistance unless our rights are being violated. I don't want a social govt. so I don't want anything from them except what i have coming I do have stuff coming because I served in the military because I figured I should do something for my country. I am sorry he is in a jam and I hope he can get out of it but there are a million ooops ten million others out there also. It seems to me his ex-employer has some responsiblites also but I do not know the whole story.
