"I'm uncomfortable being a rich rock star, doing this. I'm unhappy with that juxtaposition. I would love not to be doing this - for somebody else to do it who was not as compromised as me. That guilt has driven me to be a policy wonk. It makes me queasy to turn up just for the photo opportunity so I turn up for the briefing as well. I go to bed with World Bank reports. These issues are bigger than whether it makes me comfortable or not. So the band might cringe, I might wince, but I went to Washington to get a cheque and I'm going back to get a bigger one."

This man is a buffoon. Millionaire asking the working man on the street to hand over his money to a foreign state.

I agree. Wouldn't it be nice if the Hollyweird type millionaires did more than flap their lips? No one's stopping Bono from supporting a village with his money.
