The article itself says "Incredibly, the RNC announced that it is endorsing the poverty eradication program of rock star Bono" and also says "the Republican National Committee took steps to endorse Irish rock star Bono's proposal..." The Republican National Committee is endorsing Bono's socialism regarding fighting "global poverty". Therefore, I believe the headline is accurate. As to Americans giving food, etc., it is one thing for Americans to do it VOLUNTARILY. It is another thing for the United States government to take money from Americans forcibly through taxation and then give it to foreign governments. (Many of whom are corrupt). It's actually theft because the U.S. Constitution does not authorize this. Furthermore, as the article indicates, unless the root causes of poverty, which are man-made, are addressed, nothing will be accomplished by simply giving more and more U.S. taxpayer dollars to wherever Bono says. I also don't think attempting to curry favor through foreign aid actually works out. It's like a rich uncle constantly giving the poor relation a handout-eventually the poor relation comes to resent it because it hurts their pride.
