While in another country and you are robbed of everything you have. How do you get back to the United States? You can not afford a ticket What do You do?

Surely you've seen the traveler's checks and credit card ads? If Amex hasn't any branch or correspondent in the country where you are and you've had your Amex checks stolen, they will send you money via Western Union. Or they will send you a credit card via FedEx.
Money can always be wired to you. If all else fails, the State Department can wire it, but perhaps more bureaucratically and less efficiently than banks, travel agencies and credit card issuers.
One can get a repatriation loan from the State Department but it's not easy or quick. Somewhat more easily you can get a temporary passport to enable you to return home. A permanent one can be made up later in the U.S.
Of course you have to identify yourself somehow. But it's all been done before by others; they're used to it.

You go to the US Embassy or Consulate and they will find a way for you to get back home, but they won't pay for it. You probably have to find someone to send you money from home, or have them open a credit card for you and use it just that once.
Next time, use traveller's checks.

if you have no friends to loan you the money the only thing you can do is go to the american embassie , they will provide you with a means to get home , you may haft to repay them but , do you have a choice? also even if you have the money you will also need a pass port and the embassie is the only way to get a new one, good luck

Claim to be the killer in an unsolved murder of a child. You will be flown back first class, given a three course meal, and have a personal escort.
Whoops...that was already done by that wacko Kerr guy!!!
Thanks for the 2 points.

get in touch with the nearest consulate. They will help, they have been known to arrange for duplicate tickets from airlines, and they'll let you use the telephone to ask for more $ from family. They also help out with stolen passports and visas.

Go to the US Embassy in the country where you were robbed. It is the duty of the diplomats to help its citizens in other countries.

if you have no resources the US embassy will make arrangement for an airline ticket for you upon reentering the US then you will have to pay the money back to them (sorry no free rides)

Get a job.
Pay ALL the money that the U.S embassy tells you that they need in order for them to get you to come back.
But why come back?
