(24,692 posts)As far as I know, they haven't requested gifts - although I suppose few of us turn down gifts if they are offered - but loans.
I do now know that the far right will emerge as the leaders in the new government. That is certainly something to keep an eye on and react strongly to if it happens. In general I think the way to keep the far right out of power is not to foster economic chaos, but to provide (along with others) help to get things moving in a positive direction. I think the far right benefits more from economic chaos than the left does.
And, in general, I think those who support help for our own needy also support help for needy in other countries. The tea party types are notorious for opposing foreign aid and they oppose domestic safety net programs as well.
