The US shouldn't fund anymore "wars on" anything. Bad metaphor, bad approach.

But a nice targeted NIH funding campaign on ameliorating age-related diseases sounds a great idea.

...if only the United States weren't $15 trillion in debt.

Yeah - I guess it's really unlikely that this will be solved by Government. Perhaps rightfully so this shouldn't be at the top of their agenda.

I think it will be non profits (http://www.sens.org/) or private companies (http://halcyonmolecular.com/) that lead the way.
